Contributors to "Guidelines for Genetics Services"
This guide is intended to provide information to help individuals recognize what constitutes sound genetic services. These services are available to varying degrees for the management and diagnosis of genetic disorders. This information has been written and organized by members of the Mountain States Genetics Network (MoStGeNe) and applies to the six-state region of its operation: Arizona, Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. MoStGeNe members include representatives from state health departments, genetics service laboratories, hospitals, private practices, educators, university medical schools, and consumers.Established in 1984, MoStGeNe supports the following goals: a) to promote communication among genetic services providers, b) to share resources and problems, c) to coordinate services across state lines, d) to explore and develop collaborative studies and services such as common data bases and regional technical and educational assistance, e) to improve the quality and quantity of genetic services in the region.
The Mountain States Genetics Network wishes to thank Judy Capra for her contributions to this document.
