MedGen

MedGen is a comprehensive database of human genes and genetic variants maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), part of the National Library of Medicine. It serves as a critical resource for researchers, clinicians, and the public by providing detailed information on genes and genetic variations that contribute to human health and disease. MedGen includes data from various sources, such as the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD), and other genetic databases. The database is regularly updated to ensure that the information is current and accurate. MedGen is accessible through the NCBI website and is freely available to the public. It is an essential tool for genetic research, clinical genetics, and personalized medicine, helping to advance our understanding of the genetic basis of human health and disease.
