Gwas Database

This hooks Claude into the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog, letting you query genetic variant associations programmatically. You can look up SNPs by rs ID, search for variants linked to specific diseases or traits, pull p-values and effect sizes, or grab full summary statistics for polygenic risk scoring work. The skill covers both the web interface and REST API patterns, with working Python examples for common queries like finding all associations for a variant or filtering by genomic region. Honestly most useful if you're already doing genetic epidemiology or meta-analysis work and need to automate lookups instead of clicking around the web interface repeatedly. The catalog only includes genome-wide significant hits by default, so keep that threshold in mind.

GWAS Catalog Database

Overview

The GWAS Catalog is a comprehensive repository of published genome-wide association studies maintained by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI). The catalog contains curated SNP-trait associations from thousands of GWAS publications, including genetic variants, associated traits and diseases, p-values, effect sizes, and full summary statistics for many studies.
