HGMD® Professional 2018.3 Has Arrived!

Boy and Grandfather piecing puzzle together

HGMD® Professional version 2018.3 contains a total of 240,269 mutations entries—that’s 7,826 more mutation entries than the previous release!

Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD®) is the gold standard industry-leading resource for comprehensive coverage of published human inherited disease mutations. Unlike other mutation databases, HGMD mutations are backed by peer-reviewed publications where there is evidence of clinical impact.
