Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)

Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) is an extensive, authoritative database that catalogs human genes and genetic disorders based on Mendelian principles, which govern inheritance patterns. It provides detailed information about how specific genes relate to various health conditions, including their genetic causes, symptoms, and inheritance modes. OMIM is a valuable resource for researchers, healthcare professionals, and students to understand the genetic basis of diseases, aiding diagnosis and research. It is regularly updated to reflect the latest scientific discoveries, serving as a comprehensive tool for studying human genetics and hereditary conditions.
