The Human Gene Mutation Database: 2008 update
Open accessAbstract
The Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD®) is a comprehensive core collection of germline mutations in nuclear genes that underlie or are associated with human inherited disease. Here, we summarize the history of the database and its current resources. By December 2008, the database contained over 85,000 different lesions detected in 3,253 different genes, with new entries currently accumulating at a rate exceeding 9,000 per annum. Although originally established for the scientific study of mutational mechanisms in human genes, HGMD has since acquired a much broader utility for researchers, physicians, clinicians and genetic counselors as well as for companies specializing in biopharmaceuticals, bioinformatics and personalized genomics. HGMD was first made publicly available in April 1996, and a collaboration was initiated in 2006 between HGMD and BIOBASE GmbH. This cooperative agreement covers the exclusive worldwide marketing of the most up-to-date (subscription) version of HGMD, HGMD Professional, to academic, clinical and commercial users.

Claims other papers make about this one
Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.
In the citing paper
“Given that the Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD) lists 102,433 disease mutations (27), a number that is steadily increasing, a fixed-content method appeared impractical.”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Notably, substitutions, indels, splicing mutations, and gross deletions account for the vast majority (96%) of annotated mutations (27).”

The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“Indeed, 286 severe childhood autosomal recessive diseases encompassed 19,640 known disease mutations (8, 27, 28).”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“To be well suited for array-based screening, however, most carriers must be accounted for by a few mutations, and most disease mutations must be nucleotide substitutions (8, 27, 28).”

In the citing paper
“MutDB112(http://mutdb.org/) contains a much larger number of rare coding variants that are either associated with disease or predicted to be damaging.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
