Addendum to: Genetics in Medicine 13: 597–605 (2011); https://doi.org/10.1097/GIM.0b013e31821d69b8, published online 16 May 2011
This document was reaffirmed by the ACMG Board of Directors as of 25 June 2018 with the following addendum:
We suggest the following considerations in reaffirming this document:
-
1.
To use the phrase “pathogenic variant” rather than the word “mutation” in discussing pathogenic variants related to autosomal dominant early-onset Alzheimer disease. This would be consistent with current ACMG/AMP Guidelines for Variant Interpretation and Reporting1.
-
2.
Because this document no longer meets the criteria for an evidence-based practice guideline by either the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) or National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC), NSGC reclassified this document as a Practice Resource in 2016, and ACMG is also classifying it as a Practice Resource as of this reaffirmation.
