GWAS Catalog

The GWAS Catalog is a comprehensive online database that collects and shares research findings on how common genetic variations relate to different traits and diseases. It aggregates results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), which analyze many genetic markers across many individuals to identify genetic factors linked to health, traits, or conditions. By centralizing this information, the catalog helps scientists and healthcare professionals better understand the genetic contributions to various traits and diseases, ultimately aiding in the development of personalized medicine and targeted treatments.
