dbGap: a Database of Genome Wide Association Studies

dbGaP, the database of Genotype and Phenotype, provides data from Genome Wide Association (GWA) studies, The resource is intended to help elucidate the link between genes and disease. For each study, users have access to detailed information about the phenotypic variables measured and pre-computed associations between subjects' phenotypes and genotypes.

The initial release of dbGaP contains data on two studies: the Age-Related Eye Diseases Study (AREDS), a 600-subject, multicenter, case-controlled, prospective study of the clinical course of age-related macular degeneration and age-related cataracts that was supported by the National Eye Institute (
www.nei.nih.gov); and the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (www.ninds.nih.gov) Parkinsonism Study, a case-controlled study that gathered DNA, cell line samples and detailed phenotypic data on 2,573 subjects. NEI and NINDS worked closely with NCBI in placing data from the two studies in dbGaP.
