The Genetic Home Reference, offered through the National Library of Medicine, offers easy-to-understand "consumer information about genetic conditions and the genes responsible for those conditions." The site consists of four main sections: 1) summaries of genetic conditions including symptoms, treatment options, patterns of inheritance, and other important information; 2) summary information for the genes responsible for genetic disorders; 3) an introduction to genetics and genetic research; and 4) a searchable glossary. Users may easily search or browse the site for specific information, and numerous links to related resources are provided.
