Table 2. Databases containing associations between genetic variations, associated phenotypes and genetic tests.

Name Description
PharmGKB A large database of curated knowledge and raw data about associations between genes, genetic
variants, drug response and disease [34,120]
GWAS Central
(formerly called HGVbaseG2P)
A database of GWAS that also provides summaries of study results [121]
SNPedia A wiki-based platform containing information on phenotypes associated with SNP variants,
population prevalence of genetic variants and SNP microarrays [122]
OMIM Information about diseases with Mendelian inheritance, including references to the implicated
genes [123]
dbGaP Results of studies that have investigated the interaction of genotype and phenotype [124]
GEN2PHEN Knowledge Center Integrated genotype-to-phenotye data with facilities for data annotation and user feedback [35,125]
GET-Evidence A large database of automatically annotated and then manually curated information about the
impact of genetic variations [126]
HuGE Navigator Information on genetic variants, gene–disease associations, gene–gene and gene–environment
interactions and evaluation of genetic tests [127]
GAD Diseases associated with genetic variants [128]
Genotator Aggregated gene–disease relationship data containing an integrated view over other datasets [129]
NCBI GeneTests This resource concerns genetic tests used in diagnostic and genetic counseling [130]
The Genetic Testing Registry A database (under development) about genetic markers and tests that enable their clinical
exploration [131]

dbGaP: Database of Genotypes and Phenotypes; GAD: Genetic Association Database; GET: Genomes, environments, traits; GWAS: Genome-wide association studies; OMIM: Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man; PharmGKB: Pharmacogenomics Knowledge Database.
