Genetic Resources:
Gene reviews.org: Technical descriptions of a large variety of genetic diseases. Sources are easily cited, but the highly technical writing can be confusing.

Genes and Disease website:
Disorders can be searched by chromosome. Descriptions of the disorders are fairly brief.

Your Genes, Your Health:
A relatively small number of disorders are covered, but the ones that are listed are covered in detail. Each disease has several slides to click on for different information.

Mayo Clinic.com:
Searchable database overviews a tremendous amount of disorders. I suggest looking at the resources used because the descriptions are fairly general.
http://www.mayoclinic.com/
Medlineplus.com:
Same type of website as Mayo clinic. For the most information, I suggest following their resources.
http://medlineplus.gov/
Genetic Disorder information on the Web:
Genetic disease links page with many useful resources.
