Using HGMD Public? Your Data Is 3 Years Behind

The Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD®) Professional has over 298,000 inherited disease-relevant mutations and polymorphisms–nearly 40% more than in the public version. In 2019 alone, HGMD Professional added over 31,000 new mutation entries, which won’t be available in the public version until 2022.

Only with HGMD Professional can you:

  • Save your search results as a text file or genome browser tracks for easy reference and documentation
  • Obtain the entire database in downloadable form.
  • Search using wildcards by keyword, title, text, mutation, gene, reference, phenotype, synonyms and external identifiers.
  • Browse mutations by chromosome location, alphabetically, or via built-in mutation viewer maps.
  • Access detailed information including additional supporting references, genomic coordinates, transcription factor binding sites,
    links to dbSNP, HGVS nomenclature, and expanded cDNA sequences.

But that’s not it. Check out the table below for a full comparison of HGMD Public vs. HGMD Pro.
