GWAS Central

General Information

GWAS Central stores genome-wide association study data. The database content comprises direct submissions received from GWAS authors and consortia in addition to actively gathered data sets from various public sources. GWAS data are discoverable from the perspective of genetic markers, genes, genome regions or phenotypes, via graphical visualizations and detailed downloadable data reports.
