Human Genome Epidemiology Network, or HuGENet™ is a global collaboration of individuals & organizations committed to the assessment of the impact of human genome variation on population health & how genetic information can be used to improve health & prevent disease. HuGENet™ collaborators come from multiple disciplines such as epidemiology, genetics, clinical medicine, policy, public health, education, and biomedical sciences.
The site offers HuGE Navigator, an integrated, searchable knowledge base of genetic associations and human genome epidemiology, including information on population prevalence of genetic variants, gene-disease associations, gene-gene and gene- environment interactions, and evaluation of genetic tests. Since 2001, HuGENet™ has maintained a database of published, population-based epidemiologic studies of human genes extracted from PubMed. The HuGE Navigator replaces earlier search tools for use with this database and provides additional applications for use by researchers and the public.
In addition, HuGENet provides an e-book, e-journal club, reviews, articles (full-text available if library subscribes), case studies, factsheets, and other publications.
