  "abstract": "The aim of this document is to provide an updated statement from the Canadian College of Medical Geneticists (CCMG) regarding the current state and some future considerations on the collection, distribution, and storage of genomic information within electronic health records (EHRs), including which aspects of genomic data might warrant special attention. The original version of this document was written by the CCMG Ethics and Public Policy committee in 2010 based on data collected via an online survey of the CCMG membership at the time. It is updated here to reflect the current state of healthcare in 2024, where EHRs are almost ubiquitously used, and genomic medicine has expanded in its breadth and scope. The document was circulated to the general membership for review and feedback and has been approved by the CCMG Board of Directors.",
