HuGE Review Update |
Two new HuGE Reviews have been posted on the HuGENet™ website since the last issue of ‘What's New': “NPHS2 gene, nephrotic syndrome and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis” by Nora Franceschini et al. from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill and “Association between the Transforming Growth Factor Alpha Gene and Nonsyndromic Oral Clefts: A HuGE Review” by Alexandre Vieira. These reviews will be simultaneously published in the February issue of Genetics in Medicine and the issue of the American Journal of Epidemiology, respectively.
Two HuGE Reviews were proposed in February:
- GSTM1, CYP1A1 and smoking and lung cancer
Gurdeep Sagoo and Julian Higgins (Public Health Genetics Unit, Cambridge, UK)
- Lipoprotein lipase gene polymorphisms and coronary heart disease
Gurdeep Sagoo et al. (Public Health Genetics Unit, Cambridge, UK)

Funding Opportunities for Population-based Research Projects From the National Institutes of Health |
The HuGENet™ staff has compiled a list of funding opportunities for population-based research on the prevalence of human genetic variation, the association between genetic variants and human diseases, gene-gene or gene-environment interaction, or the evaluation of genetic tests for screening and prevention. Items are pulled from the National Institutes of Health Office of Extramural Research. Additional information and application details can be found by clicking on the respective links. New program announcements or requests for applications will be posted in future issues of the “What's New?” as they become available.
New listings:
- GENETIC FACTORS IN BIRTH DEFECTS (RFP-NIH-NICHD-2006-02)

Overview of HuGENet™ website Contents |
As of March 1, 2006, the HuGENet™ website contains:
20,272 research studies indexed in the HuGE Published Literature database, referencing 2,252 genes, 743 factors (personal or environmental), and 2,406 health outcomes/diseases. Both epidemiologic studies and review articles can be found in the database which includes 258 meta-analyses and 88 pooled 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.
