The UMD website
UMD Locus Specific DataBases

Many locus-specific mutation databases have been constructed and made publically available via the internet. An exhaustive list of LSDBs can be found at the HGVS.
The following UMD LSDBs can be querry directly via internet. Because of their common designed a cross-search can be performed using the new UMD Central tool


Please note that the sites listed below are not maintained in Marseille, and that all queries regarding them should be addressed to the curators of the site in question.
