    Genetics Home Reference

Today's site, a project of the U.S. National Library of Medicine, offers an 
informative and trustworthy resource on a comprehensive collection of 
conditions linked to genetic anomalies. Gentle Subscribers will find this 
updated reference an authoritative and reliable source for research in 
genetic-related medical science.

"Genetics Home Reference provides consumer-friendly information about the 
effects of genetic variations on human health. ... Your guide to understanding 
genetic conditions" - from the website

This straighforwardly designed text-based site is divided into two primary 
categories -- an alphabetized Genetic Disorders section encompassing "related 
genes and chromosomes" and Concepts and Tools "for understanding human 
genetics." Listing more than 900 conditions, diseases, and syndromes, the 
database can be browsed and searched, while information is included on hundreds 
of genes, chromosomes, and mitochondrial DNA detailing the health effects of 
genetic differences. A helpful handbook, a glossary of medical and genetic 
terms, and links to additional resources are also available.
