Indian Genetic Disease Database
IGDD
"Genetic-disease variants reported in the Indian subcontinent."
About the resource
The Indian Genetic Disease Database (IGDD) is maintained at CSIR's Indian Institute of Chemical Biology in Kolkata. It compiles published variants and disease associations reported in the Indian subcontinent — a region where population-specific founder mutations are common and where representation in global resources like gnomAD has historically been lower than warranted. Coverage focuses on the medically relevant Mendelian disorders prevalent in South Asian populations.
IGDD complements newer regional efforts (GenomeAsia 100K, IndiGen) that aim to fill the same gap on the population-genetics side.
What you'd use it for
- 01Look up founder mutations relevant to a South Asian patient
- 02Cross-reference an Indian-cohort variant against published reports
- 03Inform diagnostic-panel design for South Asian populations
- 04Complement gnomAD with regionally over-represented variants
