MedlinePlus Genetics

MedlinePlus Genetics provides information for the general public about the main features and inheritance of genetic conditions as well as the normal function of related genes and chromosomes and how genetic variations contribute to conditions. MedlinePlus Genetics also includes an educational handbook called Help Me Understand Genetics that explores topics in genetics ranging from the basics of DNA to precision medicine.

MedlinePlus Genetics contains information originally created for Genetics Home Reference. In October 2020, content from Genetics Home Reference was integrated into MedlinePlus.
