mutation databases

Mutation databases are organized collections of information about genetic changes, called mutations, that occur in DNA. They help scientists and healthcare providers understand which mutations are linked to specific diseases, such as cancer or inherited disorders. These databases compile data from research studies, patient samples, and clinical observations, making it easier to identify patterns and assess the significance of different mutations. By centralizing this information, mutation databases support diagnosis, treatment decisions, and ongoing research, ultimately advancing personalized medicine and improving patient care.
