Laboratory Genetics and Genomics (LGG): (replaced individual fellowships in Clinical Cytogenetics and Genomics and Clinical Molecular Genetics and Genomics). The ABMGG has merged the training of cytogenetics and molecular genetics into a single integrated specialty.
All trainees matriculating into the HMS LGG fellowship will enter a program that lasts 24-36 months; the final length of training is determined at the end of Year 1. There is no focused research time allocated in this fellowship, which incorporates clinical and cytogenetic and molecular techniques throughout the training.
