Abstract
MedGen serves as a portal to information on genetic aspects of human health and disease. Created and maintained by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), it aggregates clinically-relevant content from both NCBI and non-NCBI databases. MedGen summaries and curated links are designed to be particularly useful to health care professionals considering genetic aspects of patient care.
