Introduction

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 These earlier searches are now slightly out of date, but should still be a good starting point for those interested in the listed topics.

About OMIM "Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man OMIM is a comprehensive, authoritative, and timely compendium of human genes and genetic phenotypes. The full-text, referenced overviews in OMIM contain information on all known mendelian disorders and over 12,000 genes. OMIM focuses on the relationship between phenotype and genotype. It is updated daily, and the entries contain copious links to other genetics resources." OMIM
