than 700 genetic disorders or neoplasms
"Mendelian Inheritance in Man" (MIM) is a genetic knowledgebase
that serves clinical medicine and biomedical research, including
the Human Genome Project. It aims to be comprehensive (not only
complete, but also collated, integrated, and interpreted),
authoritative (not only accurate but also sound in its
interpretations and judgements), and timely (not only up-to-date
but also historically dimensioned).
"From a review of the eleventh edition, "Reproductive
Toxicology: "Even the convenience of computer-based forms of "MIM"
cannot eliminate the need for "MIM" in book form. The preface
provides a wonderful synopsis of human genetics. The information
contained in this text serves as a concise review for those with a
genetics background."
"From a review of the tenth edition, "New England Journal of
Medicine: " Victor McKusick] has been for all these years the
shepherd of the development of the field of clinical genetics].
Perhaps his most important pragmatic achievement has been the 10
editions of "Mendelian Inheritance in Man, " which rapidly became
and has remained the principal source of information on inherited
diseases for all clinical geneticists.
"In addition to the erudite entries in the books, the references
given with each description represent a magnificent bibliography of
clinical genetics. With McKusick's leadership and continued
interest in gene mapping, the book also rep-resents an important
compen-dium of the location of genes on specific chromosomes.
"The book is a magnificent security blanket for the clinical
geneticist and should be in the libraries not only of these
specialists, but also of all others who see patients with diseases
that have genetic components."
