Best Practice Guidelines

The EMQN community is committed to educating genomic diagnostic service providers in providing the best possible service. We do this through regularly publishing best practice guidelines on the optimum way to test for and report on a wide range of specific diseases. We have adopted an internationally robust method of crafting our guidelines to ensure they are credible and comprehensive.

Our guidelines below are freely available to view and download below.

Developed by EMQN in collaboration with the European Network of Imprinting Disorders (EUCID.net).
A consensus document resulting from an EMQN Best Practice Meeting (BPM) held in Porto, Portugal on 14 and 15 May 2014.
The Best Practice Meeting for Haemoglobinopathies, which took place in Leiden, 5–6 September 2012, was jointly organized and financed by EMQN and EuroGentest.
These guidelines have been worked out based on the long-lasting experience of the authors in the frame of the EAA/EMQN quality control AZF scheme and reflects the consensus of a large group of experts in genetics of male infertility present at the Florence-Utah-Symposium on ‘Genetics of male infertility’.
Developed on behalf of the Genetic Services Quality Committee of the European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG, https://www.eshg.org/).
Outcome of three meetings of the External Quality Assurance group of the European Society of Pathology held in Naples.
