Synopsis

"The book is a magnificent security blanket for the clinical geneticist and should be in the libraries not only of these specialists, but also of all others who see patients with diseases that have genetic components." -- New England Journal of Medicine

Mendelian Inheritance in Man (MIM) is a genetic knowledgebase that serves clinical medicine and biomedical research, including the Human Genome Project. It aims to be comprehensive (not only complete, but also collated, integrated, and interpreted), authoritative (not only accurate but also sound in its interpretations and judgements), and timely (not only up-to-date but also historically dimensioned).

The twelfth edition of this classic reference work includes:

- More than 2,000 new entries

- A total of more than 9,000 entries

- New features and enhancement of the familiar old features

- Mapping information on more than 4,000 genes of known function

- Information on specific point mutations responsible for more than 700 genetic disorders or neoplasms
