Genetic Alliance is a nonprofit organization founded in 1986 by Joan O. Weiss, working with the medical geneticist Victor A. McKusick, to advocate for health benefits in the accelerating field of genomic research. Its Wikipedia article describes it as a network of over 1,000 disease advocacy organizations, universities, government organizations, private companies and public policy organizations. It aims to advance genetic research agendas toward health benefit by engaging healthcare providers, researchers, industry professionals, public policy leaders, individuals and families. It gives technical support and information to disease-specific advocacy groups and maintains a biobank as a central storage facility for organizations that could not run their own repository.
