The NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog: knowledgebase and deposition resource

The NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog (www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas) is a FAIR knowledgebase providing detailed, structured, standardised and interoperable genome-wide association study (GWAS) data to >200 000 users per year from academic research, healthcare and industry. cancer, and we continue to contribute to awareness of the lack of population diversity in GWAS.

⚡ This is an original paraphrased summary — not copied from the abstract. Full paper available at the source link below.

• 1 The Catalog contains variant-trait associations and supporting metadata for >45 000 published GWAS across >5000 human traits, and >40 000 full P-value summary statistics datasets.
• 2 Content is curated from publications or acquired via author submission of prepublication summary statistics through a new submission portal and validation tool.
• 3 GWAS data volume has vastly increased in recent years.

Understanding this could lead to better treatments, improved diagnostics, or a deeper grasp of how the human body works — benefiting patient care globally.
