There are many different Online Mendelian Inheritence in Man (OMIM) reference materials used in UNSW Embryology.
Selected OMIM references can also be found on the Abnormalities (page 2) of each section of Notes.
In addition, back in 1999 I searched OMIM and selected a small number of references for each topic. These earlier searches are now slightly out of date, but should still be a good starting point for those interested in the topics.
I have also included search buttons that will perform searches using specific term(s) of external databases (requires internet connection).
These databases include: PubMed, PubMed Books, OMIM, Virtual Hospital and some selected Journals.
Some Reference pages will also include a search form which allows entry of your own specific search term.
Note that some search results will allow access to the full original document, while others may require a Journal subscription to access the full document.
Students when referencing specific materials should as much as possible cite the original Research article and not Review articles. When wanting to give a broad overview or summaries of the field, the Review articles should be cited (and indicated as "reviews").
Students should also avoid direct text cut and paste and if absolutely necessary should place in "quotation marks" citing the original reference.

These pages retain the original earlier site (Version 3) page layout.

For those wanting to see dynamic processes of development (and have a reasonably quick connection) then the Movies pages are good for watching changes occur.
The study of human development has relied extensively on studying the process in other model animals. For those wanting to see the process of development in other species then the other embryos pages are a good start.

This page is a central resource link page for Online Mendelian Inheritence in Man (OMIM) references in UNSW Embryology.
It outlines how OMIM were searched, selected and cited as well as where to find relevant reference pages and to carry out new searches of the OMIM database.
Note that 1999 search results link to local copies of selected data (for students without internet connection) that may differ from current content of the OMIM database.
Users with internet connection should use the OMIM search button to see the current external OMIM page.
Contact me if you have any recent topics or links that may be relevant.
