《人類遺傳學年鑒》是一份國際期刊，發表嚴格的同行評議研究。編年史的主要目的是增進對人類遺傳變異的原因和后果的了解，特別是與健康、疾病和進化有關的遺傳變異。近年來，群體遺傳學的研究與分子病理學的關系日益密切。這些領域的相互作用可以極大地增進我們對人類基因組變異的產生和維持的理解。

The Annals of Human Genetics is an international journal publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research. The principal aim of the Annals is to increase understanding of the causes and consequences of human genetic variation, particularly in relation to health, disease and evolution. In recent years it has become apparent that the study of population genetics is extremely relevant to molecular pathology. The interaction of these fields can greatly increase our understanding of the generation and maintenance of variation in the human genome.
