Acknowledgements and recognitions
The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) gratefully acknowledges the contributions of the members of the Advisory Group and the writer for their roles in developing the content for this resource.
The RACGP is also grateful to the many reviewers and representatives who reviewed and provided scholarly feedback on draft material.
In 2015, the RACGP inherited the 2007 publication Genetics in family medicine: The Australian handbook for general practitioners, which was produced under the auspices of the now defunct agency, Biotechnology Australia, with support from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). The RACGP is grateful to the authors of the original 2007 resource and its contributors for their work, which formed the foundation of Genomics in general practice.
