These guides were developed to support clinicians identifying eligible participants for the 100,000 Genomes Project

Developed in collaboration with University Hospitals Leicester, the Eligibility Wheels were a series of reference tools to help clinicians identify patients to take part in the 100,000 Genomes Project. The wheels brought together conditions that would be seen by a physicians in a clinic setting.

Recruitment of participants to the 100,000 Genomes Project completed in 2018, and so the Eligibility Wheels are provided here as an archive for reference only.
