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"

Rich Annotation for Genetic Variants
Get a complete picture with curated genomic data. View detailed information for each rare disorder, including GARD and OMIM identifiers. For variants, explore chromosomal positions, alleles, clinical significance, and direct links to ClinVar and dbSNP.
Variant Information Includes:

Advanced Filtering for Precision Analysis
Refine your results with precision. Apply multiple filters to narrow down pathogenic variants based on criteria like Clinical Significance, genomic coordinates, and dozens of other annotations, including prediction scores from SIFT, PolyPhen, and CADD.
