\begin{Description}\relax
hcgi8kOMIM is an R environment that provides mappings between
manufacturer identifiers and OMIM identifiers.
\end{Description}
\begin{Details}\relax
Each manufacturer identifier is mapped to a vector of OMIM identifiers. The vector
length may be one or longer, depending on how many OMIM identifiers the
manufacturer identifier maps to. An \code{NA} is reported for any manufacturer
identifier that cannot be mapped to an OMIM identifier at this time.

OMIM is based upon the book Mendelian Inheritance in Man
(V. A. McKusick) and focuses primarily on inherited or heritable
genetic diseases. It contains textual information, pictures, and reference
information that can be searched using various terms, among which the
MIM number is one. 

Mappings were based on data provided by:

\begin{Examples}
\begin{ExampleCode}
    # Convert the environment to a list
    xx <- as.list(hcgi8kOMIM)
    # Remove probe identifiers that do not map to any MIM number
    xx <- xx[!is.na(xx)]
    if(length(xx) > 0){
        # The MIM numbers for the first two elements of XX
        xx[1:2]
        # Get the first one
        xx[[1]]
    }
