Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIMTM) is a continuously updated catalog of human genes and genetic disorders. OMIM focuses primarily on inherited, or heritable, genetic diseases. It is also considered to be a phenotypic companion to the human genome project. OMIM is based upon the text Mendelian Inheritance in Man, authored and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and a team of science writers and editors at Johns Hopkins University and elsewhere. Mendelian Inheritance in Man is now in its 12th edition. See McKusick, V.A.: Mendelian Inheritance in Man. 12th ed., Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1998.
