Phenotypic comparison may provide crucial information for obtaining
insights into molecular interactions underlying various diseases.
However, few attempts have been made to systematically analyze the
phenotypes of hereditary disorders, mainly owing to the poor quality of
text descriptions and lack of a unified system of descriptors. Here we
present a secondary database, PHENOMIM, for translating the phenotypic
data obtained from the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM)
database into a structured form. Moreover, a web interface has also been
developed for visualizing the data and related information from the
OMIM and PhenOMIM databases. The data is freely available online for
reviewing and commenting purposes and can be found at
