About the resource

The NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog manually curates published genome-wide association studies and the SNP–trait associations they report. Each association records the SNP, the reported and mapped trait (linked to EFO), effect size, p-value, sample size and ancestry breakdown. It also provides full summary statistics where the original authors have shared them.

The Catalog is the authoritative reference for common-variant disease genetics — every Open Targets target page, every disease-genetics review and most polygenic-risk-score implementations are grounded in its records. Weekly releases; CC0.

What you'd use it for

  1. 01Find every published association for a disease across studies
  2. 02Pull summary statistics for a meta-analysis or PRS construction
  3. 03Map disease-associated SNPs to mapped genes and pathways
  4. 04Audit the ancestry coverage of the published evidence on a disease
