ACMG Secondary Findings: Recommendation Overview and Discussion of Challenges in Practice
6/23/2026
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Eastern



Location: This is a live virtual event


Registration ends on 6/23/2026



Event Description

The introduction of Secondary Finding (SF) genes by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) has standardized the process of reporting variants and follow up counseling. While most of the SF genes are associated with autosomal dominant genetic conditions, laboratories may find variants in the SF genes associated with recessive conditions that may need further evaluation. 

Join Dr. Mahmoud Aarabi for an insightful and practical review of ACMG Secondary Finding genes, including emerging considerations for recessive genetic conditions and CNV reporting following microarray and sequencing-based testing. This talk will review the SF genes and provide some practical considerations and clinical examples applicable to recessive genetic conditions and CNVs. 


Level of Instruction: Intermediate

Learning Objectives: At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  1. Apply ACMG guidelines to the interpretation and reporting of variants identified in secondary finding (SF) genes.
  2. Discuss secondary finding (SF) genes associated with recessive genetic conditions and their unique reporting strategy.
  3. Identify copy number variants in secondary finding (SF) genes and their reporting considerations.
