Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man
Access: Publicly available resource
Description: ONIM is a catalog of essays reviewing human genetic traits that follow classical Mendelian inheritance patterns. Whenever available information permits, each entry consists of six parts: (1) a preferred designation, and frequently used synonyms, (2) a brief description of the phenotype(s), (3) the nature of the basic defect, (4) a résumé of pertinent genetic information including mapping and molecular genetic details, (5) an exhaustive list and description of known allelic variants, and (6) key references. The database also contains copious links to MEDLINE and sequence records in the Entrez system, and links to additional related resources at the the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) and elsewhere. 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.
