Cancer Epidemiology, Bbiomarkers and Prevention is the tenth academic journal to collaborate with HuGENet™ (view list of collaborating journals).

One new HuGE Review were proposed in May:

Handbook for Authors of New HuGE Reviews
HuGENet™ released the first edition of the HuGENet™ Handbook of Systematic
Reviews ((165KB)) in March 2006. All new HuGE reviews should follow the guidance in this document.

As of June 1, 2007, the HuGENet™ website contains 27,716 research studies indexed in the HuGE Published Literature database, referencing 2,890 genes, 969 factors (personal or environmental), and 3,439 health outcomes/diseases.  Both epidemiologic studies and review articles can be found in the database which includes 60 HuGE Reviews and 494 meta-analyses.  Please see the GDPInfo Summary of Contents for more details.

Note: The count of health outcomes indexed in the database is based on a query that groups similar outcomes according to ICD-9 codes.  This figure is different from the total numbers of records listed in the Genomics and Disease Prevention Information system (GDPInfo) portal Health Topics A-Z.
