Medical Genetics
American Diabetes Association's GENNID study (Genetics of NIDDM)
DNA samples and
extensive phenotypic data are available from the American Diabetes
Association's GENNID study (Genetics of NIDDM). GENNID has collected
detailed family histories and a broad array of data on 170 large
pedigrees, all of which contain at least one affected sib pair, with a
total of 650 affected individuals and approximately 1,200 total
subjects. Included are approximately 65 Caucasian, 60 Hispanic, 25
African American, and 20 Japanese American pedigrees. http://professional2.diabetes.org/Diabetes_Research.aspx?typ=18&cid=91995

The Office of Public Health Genomics (OPHG)
The
Office of Public Health Genomics (OPHG) promotes the integration of
genomics into public health research, policy, and practice in order to
improve the lives and health of all people. Public Health Genomics is an
emerging field that assesses the impact of genes and their interaction
with behavior, diet and the environment on population health.

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.
