75 years of The American Journal of Human Genetics

This past year, the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) celebrated its 75th anniversary. The American Journal of Human Genetics (AJHG) was founded one year after formation of the Society, so now in 2024, we recognize the 75th anniversary of AJHG. AJHG was conceived as the flagship of the Society to provide a home for publication of human genetics research, and the first edition was published in 1949. It has continued to serve this role three quarters of a century later, remaining a pre-eminent journal in our field even as innumerable other journals have embraced research in human genetics.
