| OMIM Database (Excellent free resource) |
| Welcome to OMIM, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man. This database is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders authored and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere, and developed for the World Wide Web by NCBI, the National Center for Biotechnology Information. The database contains textual information and references. It also contains copious links to MEDLINE and sequence records in the Entrez system, and links to additional related resources at NCBI and elsewhere. |

| Human Genome Project (HGP) |
| Completed in 2003, the Human Genome Project (HGP) was a 13-year project coordinated by the U.S. Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health. During the early years of the HGP, the Wellcome Trust (U.K.) became a major partner; additional contributions came from Japan, France, Germany, China, and others. |

| POSSUM Computer based diagnostic system (not a free resource) |
| POSSUM is a computer-based system that helps clinicians to diagnose syndromes in their patients. The POSSUM team is lead by Dr. Agnes Bankier at The Murdoch Childrens Research Institute at the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne. Run the POSSUM demo to see how POSSUM can be used as an aid in syndrome diagnosis. It contains information on more 2800 syndromes, including multiple malformation chromosomal abnormalities and skeletal dysplasias. The comprehensive mediabase includes x-rays, diagrams, histopathology slides and video clips. Since version 5.0, POSSUM has undergone a major transformation. It has been developed in Java, an internet aware language that is robust, portable and easy to maintain. The new graphic interface is easy to use with a modern look and feel. |

| Oxford Dysmorphology Database (Not a free resource) |
The Winter-Baraitser Dysmorphology Database (WBDD) currently contains information on nearly 4000 dysmorphic, multiple congenital anomaly and mental retardation syndromes. It includes single gene disorders, sporadic conditions, and those caused by environmental agents.
Although WBDD mainly contains information about non-chromosomal multiple congenital anomaly syndromes, it also includes information about distinctive microdeletion syndromes and those resulting from uniparental disomy. WBDD contains nearly 40000 fully searchable references, linked to the appropriate syndromes.
