HGMD - Human Gene Mutation Database for Human Genetics Research

HGMD^® Professional is a unique resource providing comprehensive data on human inherited disease mutations to genetics and genomic research. Its compilation enables quick access to both single mutation queries and advanced search applications. HGMD^® is widely used in human genetics research, diagnostics, and personal genomics applications and was an essential tool in analyzing the genomes of James D. Watson and J. Craig Venter as well as the genomes assembled by the 1000 Genomes Project. High-throughput mapping of HGMD^® mutations for NGS variant analysis is provided in the companion Genome Trax offering.

Benefits

Quickly access detailed reports for human inherited mutations without tedious and time consuming literature searches
Easily verify whether an observed mutation is novel or has been previously described
Understand the mutational spectrum of a particular gene or disease
Analyze candidate genes for disease linkage and predisposition
Quickly prioritize mutations from whole exome or whole genome sequencing when used in combination with Genome Trax

Key Features

136,000+ mutation reports including specifics on genome coordinates, sequence details, and links to the source reference as well as public resources like dbSNP and OMIM
5,300+ summary reports listing all known inherited disease mutations for a given gene characterized by six different pathogenic variant classes
Advanced search functionality, including the ability to find mutations based on the type of nucleotide or amino acid change, or their location in a specific motif, splice site, or regulatory region
A mutation visualization tool which provides a graphical representation of the aligned DNA and protein sequences with color-coded mutated nucleotides for a selected gene
Ability to export customized mutation tracks for use in 3rd party genome browsers and analysis tools

Access Options

Online
An online subscription provides access to the HGMD web interface. Online subscriptions are available at the single IP, concurrent user, academic / non-profit lab, and institution-wide level. The single IP, concurrent user, and academic / non-profit lab subscription levels require IP plus username/password authentication. IP only authentication is optionally available for the institution-wide subscription level.

Download
A download subscription allows for local installation of the HGMD relational database. A local installation allows you to query and extract all fields of HGMD data for integration into your own, or 3rd party, analysis pipelines and tools. However redistribution of, or public access to / display of, the data is not allowed without prior written consent. MySQL platform is supported. A download subscription does not provide access to the HGMD web interface.
