The Genomics and Disease Prevention Information System (GDPInfo) is a database of all of the documents available on the Office of Genomics and Disease Prevention’s (OGDP) Web site as well as links to relevant documents on other sites. The purpose of GDPInfo is to provide access to information and resources for guiding public health research, policy, and practice on using genetic information to improve health and prevent disease. The target audience for GDPInfo is the public health professional but there is data and information that will be of interest to a range of people from researchers to the lay public.

Information Sources for GDPInfo
The focus of the information in the database is on human genetic variation and its impact on health.  Specific documents include fact sheets, reviews, case studies, published literature, online presentations, book chapters, and proceedings and related-materials from courses and workshops.  Documents that have been created under the auspices of the Human Genome Epidemiology Network (HuGENet™) are also included in the database.  Of particular note is the HuGE Published Literature database that contains the abstracts from human genome epidemiology articles that have been published in peer-reviewed journals.  These articles are identified through PubMed on a weekly basis (beginning 10/14/2000) and can be accessed through GDPInfo.

document Detailed descriptions of each information source, including how HuGE Published Literature is identified.

In addition to providing links to other genomics-related web sites, OGDP is establishing partnerships with organizations such as GeneTests to make their documents available through GDPInfo as well. The expert-authored GeneReviews that focus on the application of genetic testing to the diagnosis, management, and genetic counseling of patients and families with specific inherited conditions can be accessed through GDPInfo. With the establishment of key partnerships, GDPInfo will become a more comprehensive and valuable source of information on genomics and health.

GDPInfo Query Tool
The GDPInfo Query Tool allows one to search the database by genes, diseases, environmental factors, and other topics.  An advanced search is also available that allows searches on specific document information such as author, title, and year published.  After a search has been submitted, a listing of document sources is returned with the number of relevant documents for each source.  Each document source can then be expanded to list the individual documents available for viewing.
