Abstract
- Phenotypic comparison may provide crucial information for obtaining insights into molecular interactions underlying various diseases. However, few attempts have been made to systematically analyze the phenotypes of hereditary disorders, mainly owing to the poor quality of text descriptions and lack of a unified system of descriptors. Here we present a secondary database, PHENOMIM, for translating the phenotypic data obtained from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database into a structured form. Moreover, a web interface has also been developed for visualizing the data and related information from the OMIM and PhenOMIM databases. The data is freely available online for reviewing and commenting purposes and can be found at http://faculty.neu.edu.cn/bmie/han/PhenOMIM/.
