Several prominent reports and publications have highlighted the need for mainstream medical specialties to acquire knowledge and skills in genetic medicine and incorporate genetics into their practice.1–3 Good communication between clinical genetic services and mainstream specialties will be required as well as inclusion of genetic training in the continuing professional development of mainstream specialties.

Abstract
Several prominent reports and publications have highlighted the need for mainstream medical specialties to acquire knowledge and skills in genetic medicine and incorporate genetics into their practice.1–3 Good communication between clinical genetic services and mainstream specialties will be required as well as inclusion of genetic training in the continuing professional development of mainstream specialties.
