How are Web links selected for the Genetics Home Reference?
Genetics Home Reference provides access to information from the National Library of Medicine, the National Institutes of Health, and other U.S. Government agencies.
To complement U.S. Government sources, Genetics Home Reference links to selected nonfederal web sites, consistent with Selection Criteria for Web Links. A link to these selection criteria is available at the bottom of each Web page.
