| Description: |
Is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders authored
and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and his colleagues at Johns
Hopkins and elsewhere, and developed for the World Wide Web by
NCBI, the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The database
contains textual information and references. It also contains
copious links to MEDLINE and sequence records in the Entrez system,
and links to additional related resources at NCBI and elsewhere.
NOTE: OMIM is intended for use primarily by physicians and other
professionals concerned with genetic disorders, by genetics researchers,
and by advanced students in science and medicine. While the OMIM
database is open to the public, users seeking information about
a personal medical or genetic condition are urged to consult with
a qualified physician for diagnosis and for answers to personal
questions.
