The aim of dbAARD is to provide a freely accessible interactive database of the relationships of human single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and age-related disorders along with supporting evidence. By doing so, dbAARD hopes to facilitate access to and analysis of the relationships asserted between human variation and observed disease conditions. dbAARD collects disease-SNP associations asserted in GWAS reports as well as their significance scores in the form of p-value or odds ratio. This information is compiled from various publicly available databases like the
NHGRI GWAS
catalogue, GWAS Central,
OMIM
and others, as well as literature searches.The alleles described in the reports are mapped to reference sequences, and
reported according to the HGVS
standard. The interface is easy-to-use and enables users to find the required information by using different filters.
The data is presented to the user in easily readable tabular form.
