## Mappings between probe identifiers and Mendelian Inheritance in Man (MIM) identifiers

### Description

The OMIM database (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man) http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=OMIM contains data for human genes and genetic disorders. hgu133aOMIM maps probe identifiers to MIM numbers that can be used to search the database

### Details

OMIM is based upon the book Mendelian Inheritance in Man (V. A. McKusick) and focuses primarily on inherited or heritable genetic diseases. It contains textual information, pictures, and reference information that can be searched using various terms, among which the MIM number is one.

Mappings were based on data provided by:

### Examples

        # Convert the environment to a list
        xx <- as.list(hgu133aOMIM)
        # Remove probe ids that do not map to any MIM number
        xx <- xx[!is.na(xx)]
        if(length(xx) > 0){
            # The MIM numbers for the first two elements of XX
            xx[1:2]
            # Get the first one
            xx[[1]]
        }
