Journal published by Indian Society of Human Genetics

The Indian Society of Human Genetics started publishing a society journal, Indian Journal of Human Genetics in 2000. This journal was the mouthpiece of the Indian Society of Human Genetics, which was established way back in 1973 with a group of distinguished and enthusiastic scientists from Mumbai, Pune, Kolkata, Delhi, and Hyderabad under the leadership of Dr. LD Sanghvi.

Prof. JS Murthy, from Hyderabad, started the journal, and its continuity became uncertain following the sudden and unexpected demise of Prof. Murthy, but Prof. Dipika Mohanty, former Director of the Institute of Immunohematology (Presently renamed National Institute of Immunohematology), took up the responsibility as the editor for the journal. Hence, in the year 2000, only one issue of the journal was published. The journal was published from the National Institute of Immunohematology for the next 10 years. In place of two issues per year till 2004, the journal started bringing out three issues per year from 2005. In 2010, Society’s only journal touched a new milestone by getting indexed in NCBI-PubMed. The efforts of the publisher of the journal, that is, Medknow Publishers, and Media Pvt. Ltd. is appreciated. Due to unavoidable circumstances, the Society ceased publishing this journal in the year 2014.The archive for this journal includes volumes 13-20.

Some of the previous issues of the journal are available online
