From the Editor

Happy New Year!

With this issue, we kick off year two of the MACGN Newsletter. For reprints of last year’s issues, call us at 1-877-880-6188. In this issue, we give you a new principal investigator, our second annual CME conference, and a set of new referral guidelines for physicians regarding individuals at risk for hereditary cancers. Also included is an overview of the President’s Executive Order on genetic discrimination and an ovarian cancer case study. Finally, we highlight the importance of patient advocacy, particularly as it relates to the Cancer Genetics network.

Sincerely,
John W. Kim, Editor
