Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, OMIM (TM). Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. MIM Number: {{{1}}}. World Wide Web URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/

Usage

This template creates a non-abbreviated reference citation to a specific numbered page at the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man database. The format conforms to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Omim/omimfaq.html#citing_omim.

{{OMIM|#####}}, where "#####" is the OMIM page number.

Results: Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, OMIM (TM). Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD. MIM Number: 12345. World Wide Web URL: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/

This template is good to use for the first OMIM citation in an article (or perhaps in a section), but is generally probably too long to use repeatedly; use the {{OMIM3}} template instead for later citations. And {{OMIM2}} can be used after {{OMIM}} to shorten a long list of OMIM citations.

The template may be placed within a <ref></ref> tag.

This template confirms with recommendations on citing OMIN at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Omim/omimfaq.html#citing_omim except date of last OMIM edit is not included here.
