3. Other disorders (labelled with the number 2) are mapped only on the basis of the clinical phenotype which is found to be linked to markers at a particular chromosomal site or the phenotype is found in association with a The morbid anatomy of the human genome chromosomal aberration. Huntington's disease is an example of a disorder mapped by linkage to DNA markers
4. We are indebted to colleagues who have participated in the Human Gene Mapping Workshops 1973 to 1991 and assisted in the collation of data on the human gene map. The development and maintenance of Mendelian Inheritance in Man and its online version OMIM was supported in part by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute from 1986 to 1991. It is now supported, in the main, jointly by the NIH and the DOE as part of the Genome Data Base (GDB), the repository for mapping information coming from the Human Genome Project
