Abstract
Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIMĀ®), an online catalog of human genes
and genetic disorders, has been used in the low- and middle-income countries largely
as a tool for improving clinical care, teaching genetics and genomics, and for clinical
and research analysis of next-generation sequencing. By facilitating free access to
curated, updated, and comprehensive information in genetics and genomics, OMIM
has led to better clinical care and research advancement in countries where clinicians
and researchers in private or public hospitals and universities cannot afford to pay
for other resources including journal subscriptions.
