What is RareVarDB?

A specialized database dedicated to cataloging genetic variants associated with rare and orphan diseases

Focus on Rare Diseases

A distinctive database dedicated to cataloging genetic variants (SNPs & Indels) specifically associated with rare and orphan diseases.

Integrated Data Sources

Provides curated variants for rare disease research, enriched with key annotations from prominent databases:

Accelerating Genetic Research

A centralized resource for researchers, clinicians, and geneticists offering detailed insights into the genetics of rare disorders.

Key Features for Rare Disease Research

Designed for intuitive and powerful genomic data exploration.

Intuitive Variant & Disease Search

Instantly find the data you need. Search by rare disease name, a specific gene, or a genetic variant ID (SNP). Our platform provides examples to guide your queries, ensuring you can access critical information without a steep learning curve.

Example searches: "Cystic Fibrosis", "CFTR", "rs121908757"

RareVarDB Search Interface for rare disease genes and variants

Rich Annotation for Genetic Variants
