Welcome to the New Mexico MSRGN team. We are here to help answer questions you may have about genetic services in New Mexico. 

Our featured project is focused on Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and producing physical copies of existing provider resources for treating it. We hope this will ultimately accelerate the time to be seen by a genetics provider in New Mexico.

Please check out our New Mexico State Team infographic here to see our other projects and accomplishments.
