Genetic & genomic

Variant interpretation, population frequencies, gene–disease curation and phenotype annotation. The reference layer beneath every modern diagnostic and disease-gene-discovery pipeline.

ClinVar

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar
Clinically-interpreted variant archive

NCBI's public archive of reported associations between human variants and phenotypes. Aggregates submissions from clinical labs, expert panels and researchers, with conflict-tracking and review status — the dominant resource for clinically interpreted variants.

HGMD

hgmd.cf.ac.uk
Human Gene Mutation Database

Catalogues published germline mutations causing or associated with inherited disease in humans. The public version is older and limited, but the professional version is widely used by diagnostic labs.

DisGeNET

disgenet.org
Gene–disease associations integrator

One of the largest gene–disease association resources, DisGeNET integrates curated databases (UniProt, ClinVar, Orphanet, CTD, PsyGeNET and others) with text-mined literature, providing hundreds of thousands of gene–disease and variant–disease associations annotated with evidence-based scores.

ClinGen

clinicalgenome.org
Clinical genome resource

Builds authoritative, expert-curated knowledge about clinical relevance of genes and variants — gene–disease validity, dosage sensitivity and actionability. Works closely with ClinVar and is increasingly the canonical reference for clinical-grade gene–disease curation.

GenCC

thegencc.org
Gene Curation Coalition

A consortium aggregating gene–disease validity assertions from leading curation efforts (ClinGen, DECIPHER, Orphanet, Genomics England PanelApp and others) into a single harmonised view.

HPO

hpo.jax.org
Human Phenotype Ontology

A standardised vocabulary of phenotypic abnormalities encountered in human disease, with extensive annotations linking thousands of diseases — especially rare and Mendelian — to their characteristic phenotypes. Used worldwide in clinical genetics and diagnostic pipelines.

DECIPHER

deciphergenomics.org
Genomic variation & phenotype platform

A Sanger-Wellcome–hosted database of submitted patient cases with rare genomic variants (CNVs and sequence variants) plus associated phenotypes — used by clinical geneticists for variant interpretation and cohort matchmaking across centres.

See alsoHPO · ClinVar · GenCC

LOVD

lovd.nl
Leiden Open Variation Database

A platform hosting hundreds of locus- or gene-specific variant databases, allowing curators to share variants and phenotypes for individual genes implicated in disease.

See alsoHGMD · ClinVar

MITOMAP

mitomap.org
Human mitochondrial DNA variation

A specialised database of human mitochondrial DNA variation and disease associations, maintained as a community reference for mitochondrial disorders.

PharmGKB

pharmgkb.org
Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Base

Stanford-led resource curating pharmacogenomic relationships between genes, variants, drugs and diseases, including dosing guidelines from CPIC and others. Central to precision-medicine work on adverse drug reactions and treatment response.

gnomAD & 1000 Genomes

gnomad.broadinstitute.org
Population allele-frequency references

gnomAD aggregates exome and genome sequencing from 800,000+ unrelated individuals, providing allele frequencies and gene-level constraint metrics indispensable when filtering candidate disease variants. The earlier 1000 Genomes Project provided foundational diversity data still cited in disease genetics.
