Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD<sup>®</sup>): 2003 update

Peter D. Stenson, Edward V. Ball, Matthew Mort et al. · 24 Apr 2003

The Human Gene Mutation Database (HGMD) constitutes a comprehensive core collection of data on germ-line mutations in nuclear genes underlying or associated with human inherited disease (www.hgmd.org). Data catalogued includes: single base-pair substitutions in coding, regulatory and splicing-relevant regions; micro-deletions and micro-insertions; indels; triplet repeat expansions as well as gross deletions; insertions; duplications; and complex…

Updated comprehensive phylogenetic tree of global human mitochondrial DNA variation

Mannis van Oven, Manfred Kayser · 14 Oct 2008

Human mitochondrial DNA is widely used as tool in many fields including evolutionary anthropology and population history, medical genetics, genetic genealogy, and forensic science. Many applications require detailed knowledge about the phylogenetic relationship of mtDNA variants. Although the phylogenetic resolution of global human mtDNA diversity has greatly improved as a result of increasing sequencing efforts…

Mutation nomenclature extensions and suggestions to describe complex mutations: A discussion

Johan T. den Dunnen, Stylianos E. Antonarakis · 1 Jan 2000

Consistent gene mutation nomenclature is essential for efficient and accurate reporting, testing, and curation of the growing number of disease mutations and useful polymorphisms being discovered in the human genome. While a codified mutation nomenclature system for simple DNA lesions has now been adopted broadly by the medical genetics community, it is inherently difficult to…

HGVS Recommendations for the Description of Sequence Variants: 2016 Update

Johan T. den Dunnen, Raymond Dalgleish, Donna Maglott et al. · 2 Mar 2016

The consistent and unambiguous description of sequence variants is essential to report and exchange information on the analysis of a genome. In particular, DNA diagnostics critically depends on accurate and standardized description and sharing of the variants detected. The sequence variant nomenclature system proposed in 2000 by the Human Genome Variation Society has been widely…

Impact of mutant p53 functional properties on<i>TP53</i>mutation patterns and tumor phenotype: lessons from recent developments in the IARC TP53 database

Audrey Petitjean, Ewy A. Mathé, Shunsuke Kato et al. · 20 Feb 2007

The tumor suppressor gene TP53 is frequently mutated in human cancers. More than 75% of all mutations are missense substitutions that have been extensively analyzed in various yeast and human cell assays. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) TP53 database (www-p53.iarc.fr) compiles all genetic variations that have been reported in TP53. Here, we…

Human Mutation template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Human Mutation format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Human Mutation template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official Wiley format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Human Mutation use?
Human Mutation uses Author–year (Chicago) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, Ada, Ben Jones, and Cara Lee. 2023. "A Representative Article Title." Human Mutation 12 (3): 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Human Mutation?
No. DocuGuru generates the USG LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a Wiley-ready Human Mutation document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Human Mutation template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Human Mutation format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes Human Mutation?
Human Mutation is a multidisciplinary journal published by Wiley. DocuGuru's Human Mutation template matches Wiley's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Human Mutation PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Human Mutation template (the USG class) that is ready to submit to Wiley, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Human Mutation template cost?
You can start writing in the Human Mutation template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Human Mutation PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
