	Comment
	Commentary The clinical utility of testicular cancer risk loci Christian P Kratz, Gennady Bratslavsky, Jianxin Shi Genome Medicine 2011, 3:1 (21 January 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary A predisposition to testicular germ cell tumors is highly heritable, but screening of the general population for associated genetic variants currently has no proven value.
	Commentary The in silico macrophage: toward a better understanding of inflammatory disease Peter Ghazal, Steven Watterson, Kevin Robertson, David C Kluth Genome Medicine 2011, 3:4 (22 January 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary In silico modeling of the human macrophage could lead to a better understanding of immune inflammatory response and potentially help to develop therapies for autoimmune diseases
	Editorial Genome Medicine: past, present and future Charles Auffray, Timothy Caulfield, Muin J Khoury, James R Lupski, Matthias Schwab, Timothy Veenstra Genome Medicine 2011, 3:6 (31 January 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary As Genome Medicine reaches its second anniversary, our Section Editors identify the most exciting recent breakthroughs and offer their opinions on what the future of genomic medicine might hold.
	Musings 'Genomic counseling'? Genetic counseling in the genomic era Angus Clarke, Katie Thirlaway Genome Medicine 2011, 3:7 (31 January 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary As genome sequencing becomes widely available and readily affordable, will genetic counselors embrace the genomics of complex disease as well as the genetics of Mendelian disease?
	Review
	Review Tackling Ebola: new insights into prophylactic and therapeutic intervention strategies Emmie de Wit, Heinz Feldmann, Vincent J Munster Genome Medicine 2011, 3:5 (27 January 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary There is currently no effective treatment for human Ebolavirus infection, but research into vaccines and antiviral and antisense therapies in non-human primates is showing promise.
	Report
	Meeting report The ICG-V: advances in genomic profiling across the spectrum of biology and medicine Jingde Zhu Genome Medicine 2011, 3:2 (25 January 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary A report of the 5th International Conference on Genomics (ICG-V), Shenzhen, China, 15-18 November 2010.
	Research
	Research Modeling the cumulative genetic risk for multiple sclerosis from genome-wide association data Joanne H Wang, Derek Pappas, Philip L De Jager, Daniel Pelletier, Paul IW de Bakker, Ludwig Kappos, Chris H Polman, Australian and New Zealand Multiple Sclerosis Genetics Consortium (ANZgene), Lori B Chibnik, David A Hafler, Paul M Matthews, Stephen L Hauser, Sergio E Baranzini, Jorge R Oksenberg Genome Medicine 2011, 3:3 (18 January 2011) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary A novel genetic profile for multiple sclerosis is enriched for genes involved in such pathways as immune response and nervous system development, providing insights into disease heterogeneity and genetic risk.
