## Map between Manufacturer Identifiers and Mendelian Inheritance in Man (MIM) identifiers

### Description

hgu95bOMIM is an R environment that provides mappings between manufacturer identifiers and OMIM identifiers.

### Details

Each manufacturer identifier is mapped to a vector of OMIM identifiers. The vector length may be one or longer, depending on how many OMIM identifiers the manufacturer identifier maps to. An `NA` is reported for any manufacturer identifier that cannot be mapped to an OMIM identifier at this time.

OMIM is based upon the book Mendelian Inheritance in Man (V. A. McKusick) and focuses primarily on inherited or heritable genetic diseases. It contains textual information, pictures, and reference information that can be searched using various terms, among which the MIM number is one.

Mappings were based on data provided by:

### Examples

        # Convert the environment to a list
        xx <- as.list(hgu95bOMIM)
        # Remove probe identifiers that do not map to any MIM number
        xx <- xx[!is.na(xx)]
        if(length(xx) > 0){
            # The MIM numbers for the first two elements of XX
            xx[1:2]
            # Get the first one
            xx[[1]]
        }
