Gene Letter and Gene Sage
A site with very useful articles, many bioethical, on subjects we at the Center follow closely. An online-journal on genetic screening and genetic disorders written by a panel of doctors with areas of expertise in fetal and neonatal genetics, pediatrics, ob/gyn, human genetics, genetic testing, clinical genetics, and other related fields. Unfortunately, this journal is no longer being published online, however, all the archived articles are accessible.
http://www.geneletter.com
GeneSage is a commercial site with products for genetic professionals. Their goal is to translate the promise of genomics into practical solutions for health professionals and consumers. GeneSage gives users a place to answer sensitive questions, access genetic testing, safely store information and act to promote health.

Familial Cancer Database (FaCD) – from University Hospital Groningen, The Netherlands/Union International Contre le Cancer (UICC)
FaCD is a stand-alone computer program, designed to run on a personal computer. The program tries to match the tumor features (malignant or benign tumors) and other features observed in a patient and his or her family with the profiles of the disorders stored in the database. Available for free, FaCD is a clinical tool intended for use by health care professionals with at least a basic working knowledge of clinical cancer genetics.

GeneCards
GeneCardsTM is a database of human genes, their products and their involvement in diseases. It offers concise information about the functions of many human genes. The site is particularly useful for people who wish to find information about genes of interest in the context of functional genomics and proteomics.
