Anyone looking for information on genetic diseases will be thankful for Scienceroll’s advice on “how to search for genetic conditions”. This list of Top 10 Sites is wonderful list for students, scholars, clinicians and people seeking diagnosis.

Here’s the inspiration behind his top 10 post:

Some months ago, I wrote about Juan Magdaraog who is blogging about his struggle with Pompe disease, a rare, but important genetic condition. He let me know about an essential problem: the diagnostic delay. … Look, we can’t expect physicians (from any kind of medical specialties) to know everything about all the cc. 4000 genetic conditions. But we can help them how to find relevant information and quickly understandable material on genetic conditions.

Thanks for the tips, Berci! Most of these sites live in my bookmarks, but your post reminded me that the goal of making genetics accessible means making our process transparent, too — the tools, the references, the analysis.
