Is it possible to search the OMIM Gene Map by cytogenetic map location?
Yes. The OMIM Gene Map can be searched by gene symbol (e.g., “SOD1”), chromosomal location (e.g., “5”, “1pter”, “Xq” ), or by disorder keyword (e.g., “alzheimer”). You must capitalize “X” and “Y” to search for those chromosomes. Note that the OMIM Gene Map is a single file. It is presented in tabular format and lists genes from the p telomere of chromosome 1 through the q telomere of chromosome 22, followed by genes on the X and Y chromosomes (also in ptel to qtel order). The search system will take you to the first instance of your search term in the file, and will display the 20 entries in that region of the file. You can then scroll up and down the file 20 entries at a time. The OMIM Gene Map data have been included in the Genes_Cytogenetic map of the Entrez Map Viewer, which presents a graphical display of various cytogenetic, genetic linkage, sequence, radiation hybrid, and other maps. When viewing a chromosome, use the “Display Settings” option to select the Genes_Cytogenetic map
