 , where "#####" is the OMIM page number.

Results:

This template is good to use for the first OMIM citation in an article (or perhaps in a section), but is generally probably too long to use repeatedly; use the OMIM3 template instead for later citations. And OMIM2 can be used after OMIM to shorten a long list of OMIM citations. Either can also be used in infoboxes to keep the text shorter. In infoboxes, the plainlinks variants OMIM4 (variant of OMIM2) and OMIM5 (variant of OMIM3), without external link icons, can alternatively be used, where the context already makes it clear that the links are external.
