http://brainarray.mbni.med.umich.edu/Brainarray/Database/SearchSNP/snpfunc.aspx

Database for exploring the function implication of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) alleles. It is designed to be a clearing house for all public domain SNP functional annotation data, as well as in-house functional annotations derived from different data sources. It currently contains SNP functional annotations in six major categories including genomic elements, transcription regulation, protein function, pathway, disease and population genetics. Besides extensive SNP functional annotations, it includes a search engine that accepts different types of genetic markers as input and identifies all genetically related SNPs based on the HapMap Phase II data as well as the relationship of different markers to known genes. As a result, the system allows users to identify the potential biological impact of genetic markers and complex relationships among genetic markers and genes, and it greatly facilitates knowledge discovery in genome-wide SNP scanning experiments.

NEI established NEHEP to increase awareness among healthcare professionals and the public of scientifically based health information that can be applied to preserving sight and preventing blindness. NEHEP works in partnership with a variety of public and private organizations that conduct eye health education programs. Program activities are designed to promote the importance of early detection and timely treatment of eye disease and the use of vision rehabilitation services using strategies that are culturally appropriate, health-literate, and evidence-based. NEHEP ensures that vision is a health priority by translating eye and vision research into public and professional education programs. NEHEP supports collaboration among eye health professionals, healthcare providers, patients, and the public. NEHEP programs provide healthcare professionals with information, materials, and resources to educate patients and the public about eye health and the importance of comprehensive dilated eye examinations. NEHEP is supported by a Planning Committee and a Partnership, which bring a vast array of knowledge about eye health and experience with populations at higher risk for eye disease. NEHEP Programs *Diabetic Eye Disease: The NEHEP Diabetic Eye Disease (DED) Education Program is designed to increase awareness about DED among people with diabetes, particularly those at higher risk. *Glaucoma: The NEHEP Glaucoma Education Program provides information about glaucoma to people at higher risk as well as those living with the disease. *Low Vision: The NEHEP Low Vision Education Program is designed to create awareness among adults, their families and friends, and the general public about vision rehabilitation services. *Ojo con su Vision: Ojo con su visin or Watch out for your vision is the Spanish-language program of NEHEP that targets the Hispanic/Latino community. Healthy Vision Program Healthy People 2010, the health promotion and disease prevention framework for the Nation, identifies the most significant risks to health and establishes national goals to reduce those risks. Focus area 28 of Healthy People 2010, Vision and Hearing, includes 10 vision objectives known as Healthy Vision. The Healthy Vision objectives identify national eye health concerns, and encourage individuals, organizations, and businesses to help address these concerns in their communities. *Healthy Vision 2010 Focusing on examination and prevention, eye diseases, injury and safety, and vision rehabilitation, Healthy Vision 2010 is designed to help you determine what you can do in your home, community, business, or state to help improve the Nation's eye health. *Healthy Vision Community Awards Program The Healthy Vision Community Awards Program provides awards of up to 10,000 for community-based eye health education programs. The program objectives address examinations and prevention, eye diseases, injury and safety, and vision rehabilitation. *Healthy Vision Month May is Healthy Vision Month, a national eye health observance sponsored by NEI and the National Eye Health Education Program Partnership. Healthy Vision Month is devoted to elevating vision as a public health priority. Each year focuses on a specific eye health topic. *Healthy Vision Community Programs Database The Healthy Vision Community Programs Database is a searchable collection of community-based vision health programs from the different U.S. states and territories. It stimulates ideas for creative eye health education projects and promotes networking among interested groups. Outlook Newsletter: Outlook is the electronic newsletter of the National Eye Health Education Program (NEHEP). Outlook provides quarterly updates on eye health education, disease prevention activities, and NEHEP activities and materials. Related Research: NEHEP represents an extension of the support that NEI provides to vision research, where results are disseminated to health professionals, patients, and the public.
