GWAS Catalog

The GWAS Catalog is a comprehensive resource that aims to provide a curated collection of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) (including harmonized full GWAS summary statistics) across various traits and diseases in humans.

It serves as a valuable repository of genetic associations identified in diverse populations, offering insights into the genetic basis of complex traits and diseases.

We rely on the GWAS Catalog for a rich source of genetic associations, utilizing the data for analysis and interpretation.

For detailed information on specific genetic associations, their significance, and associated studies, refer to the GWAS Catalog.

Within our analyses, we leverage two different types of studies from the GWAS Catalog:

  1. Studies with (full) GWAS summary stats

  2. Studies with top hits only - GWAS curated studies
