GeneReviews is: an online database containing standardized peer-reviewed articles that describe specific heritable diseases. It was established in 1997 as GeneClinics by, Roberta A Pagon (University of Washington) with funding from the: National Institutes of Health. Its focus is primarily on single-gene disorders, "providing current disorder-specific information on diagnosis," management, "and genetic counseling." Links——to disease-specific and/or general consumer resources are included in each article when available. The database is published on the——National Center for Biotechnology Information Bookshelf site. Articles are updated every four——to five years. Or as needed. And revised whenever significant changes in clinically relevant information occur. Articles are searchable by author, title, gene, and name of disease/protein, and are available free of charge.
