As of March 29, 2019, HGMD contains over 256,070 germline mutations--a major achievement in our understanding of rare and hereditary disease. For years, HGMD has been recognized as the defacto standard repository for heritable mutations. Curated by experts in the field of genetics, HGMD offers information you can trust, with an unrivaled breadth of coverage. The proof is in the numbers:
256,070 expert-curated, disease-causing germline variants
10,500+ summary reports listing all known inherited disease mutations
2,600+ peer-review journals mined by experts in the field of genetics
104,000+ peer-reviewed literature reports cited
14,500+ scientific publications cite HGMD
17,000+ new mutation entries per year

Updated tracks have been released with HGMD 2019.1 content for all HGMD-related tracks. Additional major updates include TRANSFAC® release 2019.1, and PROETOME™ release 2019.1.
QCI Interpret for Rare and Hereditary Disease is clinical decision support software that provides current scientific and clinical evidence to classify variants according to ACMG and ACOG interpretation guidelines.
QCI Interpret connects you to HGMD, plus 25 additional public and propriety sources. The software provides you with an expansive variant bibliography with full transparency to the underlying evidence, enabling you report confidently and scale efficiently. Learn more
Unlike other mutation databases, HGMD mutations are backed by peer-reviewed publications where there is evidence of clinical impact—and the gold-standard, industry-leading resource just got better.
