Three consultation's modes are available: a Full text mode, an interrogation by symbol name or id OMIM and finally a multicriteria mode.

1. The Full text mode: available for the three databases
   • Enter one or more terms separated by a blank.
   • When term's length is over 3 characters, right truncature is assumed (i.e cytogenet for cytogenetic). Dash characters (-), if present are optional.
   • When more than one term is used, only the pages containing all terms will be displayed
   • Avoid terms such as of, the, gene, protein

2. You can search in GENE or PHENOTYPE databases by Symbol Name or id OMIM.

3. A real multicriteria mode of query, more specific than the full text search mode and exclusively for the GENE database.
   For each section, a query screen is supplied with the concerned items. You can also combined the different sections to query the gene database on all its informations. In order to quickly have a result, avoid to have more than three items.

   Be careful, when the query concern more than one item, the result is an intersection of all items (i.e. AND).
