With the kind assistance of Ada Hamosh (director), + Joanna Amberger and Francois Schiettecatte of the OMIM project, + we have separated the OMIM records into three separate tracks: + </P> + <P> + <B>OMIM Allelic Variant SNPs</B> + <BR> + Variants in the OMIM database that have associated dbSNP identifiers. + </P> + + <P> + <B>OMIM Genes</B> + <BR> + The genomic positions of gene entries in the OMIM database. + The coloring indicates the associated OMIM phenotype class. + </P> + + <P> + <B>OMIM Phenotypes - Gene Unknown</B> + <BR> + Regions known to be associated with a phenotype, but for which no + specific gene is known to be causative. This track also includes + known multi-gene syndromes. + </P> + + <P> + The OMIM tracks are searchable by OMIM number. In most cases, + simply typing the 6-digit MIM number into the postition/search box + on the Browser will take you to the record. + </P> + + <P> + The OMIM data are the property of Johns Hopkins University and + will not be available for download from UCSC.
