Funding Information:
In 2019, the Danish National Genome Center (an agency under the Ministry of Health) was launched as a part of the national strategy for personalized medicine.40 The goal of the National Genome Center is to advance personalized medicine by performing genome sequencing in patients for clinical and research purposes. The center has national responsibility for processing, analysis, and secure storage of genome data. As well, the center offers guidance in interpretation of data. During the next four years, the plan is to perform whole-genome sequencing in 60,000 selected patients with financial support from the Novo Nordisk Foundation. Currently, 2166 patients have had such sequencing performed. Furthermore, some patients have genetic analyses performed for diagnostic or treatment purposes as part of routine clinical care. Since 2019, it has been mandatory for clinicians to report these analyses to the Danish National Genome Center. Approximately 1940 genomes have been reported to the center in this manner. Before genetic analysis, the responsible clinicians must ensure informed consent.
