Abstract：
OBJECTIVE: Genetic counselors (GCs) increasingly play key roles in advancing genomic medicine through innovative research. Here, we examine one large cohort of GCs\' evolving contributions to the literature, with the goal of facilitating worldwide professional development for GCs through scholarly activities.
METHODS: Publications were cataloged by members of the Section of Genetic Counseling (Section), established at the Children\'s Hospital of Philadelphia and the University of Pennsylvania in 2014, including publication year, journal, impact factor, and author position. Data were organized using the \"My Bibliography\" tool on the National Center for Biotechnology Information website and a Research Electronic Data Capture database created to initially collect manuscripts published through 30 June 2020. A subsequent survey captured publications through 5 February 2024.
RESULTS: An amount of 52 of 120 (43%) GCs shared their curriculum vitae/papers. 992 unique publications were identified from 1986 to 2024. Since 2013, no less than 32 papers were published annually by Section members and no less than 10 GCs contributed to publications yearly. Impact factors typically averaged >5.0 per year. Areas of foci diversified considerably since 2015.
CONCLUSIONS: Here, we establish that GCs indeed contribute to scholarly work as evidenced by the number of publications alone. The establishment of an academic home may have contributed, given publications increased concurrent to launching the Section, providing a model for organizing GCs at institutions nationally and internationally. Highlighting such achievements will foster the expansion of GC roles in the era of precision genomic medicine and therapy. Considering ways to support GCs towards expanding these activities is equally important.

摘要：
目的：遗传顾问（GC）在通过创新研究推进基因组医学方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。这里,我们研究了一大群GCs对文献的不断发展的贡献，目标是通过学术活动促进全球社区的专业发展。
方法：出版物由遗传咨询部分（部分）的成员分类，2014年在费城儿童医院和宾夕法尼亚大学成立，包括出版年，journal,影响因子,作者的立场。数据是使用国家生物技术信息中心网站上的“我的参考书目”工具和一个研究电子数据捕获数据库进行组织的，该数据库最初收集到2020年6月30日之前发布的手稿。随后的调查记录了截至2024年2月5日的出版物。
结果：120名（43％）GCs中有52名分享了他们的简历/论文。从1986年到2024年，发现了992种独特的出版物。自2013年以来，该科成员每年发表不少于32篇论文，每年不少于10篇GCs为出版物做出贡献。影响因子通常平均每年>5.0。自2015年以来，焦点领域大幅多样化。
结论：这里，我们确定GC确实对学术工作做出了贡献，仅出版物的数量就证明了这一点。学术之家的建立可能有所贡献，鉴于出版物与启动该科同时增加，为在国内和国际机构组织GCs提供了一个模式。突出这些成就将促进GC在精确基因组医学和治疗时代的作用。考虑如何支持全球组织扩大这些活动也同样重要。
