OMIM

Brief Description

Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) is a continuously updated catalog of human genes and genetic disorders.
It focuses on inherited, or heritable, genetic diseases and summarize the trait or disorder of the genes.
The OMIM record also contains the official symbol for each gene, the key mutations in genes which cause diseases, the functions of the genes and the proteins that they encode, it describes the genetic conditions and how the genes are inherited.
It is also considered to be a phenotypic companion to the human genome project.

System Using OMIM

MutaGeneSys
A system that uses genome-wide genotype data to predict diseases.
This system is able to detect individuals that is prone to disorders in the OMIM among people who participate in the genome studies.

The aim of the project is to create a flexible, extensible and efficient framework to store and query both direct and indirect association data and lastly

To provide a set of tools to import and maintain data, and to use these tools to populate the database with direct and indirect association data that is available currently.

My Comment
I was astonished by what this system is all about and eager to see the personalized medicine based on each individual genetic information in the near future.
