Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants: A Joint Consensus Recommendation of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular…
TLDR
Because of the increased complexity of analysis and interpretation of clinical genetic testing described in this report, the ACMG strongly recommends thatclinical molecular genetic testing should be performed in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments–approved laboratory, with results interpreted by a board-certified clinical molecular geneticist or molecular genetic pathologist or the equivalent.

Single nucleotide polymorphisms in the human interleukin-1B gene affect transcription according to haplotype context.
TLDR
The four haplotypes that showed different contextual effects on SNP function accounted for >98% of the estimated haplotypes in Caucasian and African-American populations, which underlines the importance of understanding the haplotype structure of populations used for genetic studies.

Demographic differences in the utilization of clinical and direct-to-consumer genetic testing.
TLDR
Non-Hispanic Whites were more likely than other groups to have clinical genetic testing but were similar to Hispanics and non-Hispanic Blacks in rates of DTC genetic testing, suggesting racial/ethnic disparities in the use of clinical genetic services persist.
