HuGE Reviews

The HuGE Reviews archive is organized by topic category, with the most recent review listed first under each heading.  As a service to our readers, the HuGENet™ staff has included other systematic reviews found in the literature where authors have taken a quantitative approach in their review of epidemiologic evidence between genes and diseases. A link to a list of those systematic reviews can be found at the end of each topic category.
