     The OMIM database (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man) <URL:
     http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=OMIM> contains
     data for human genes and genetic disorders. hgu133aOMIM maps probe
     identifiers to MIM numbers that can be used to search the database

_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     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:
