INDVar is live: an Indian genomic variant database
A national resource that lists disease-causing variants, variants of uncertain significance, and phenotype data from affected individuals in India.
INDVar is now live as an Indian population-specific genomic variant database. It is meant to bridge clinical diagnostics and functional genomics, so that variant interpretation for Indian patients is less dependent on catalogues built mainly from other populations.
Clinicians can submit individual or batch genomic variants with phenotype and diagnosis details, and receive an INDVar ID. Researchers can register genes of interest and are notified when new variants are submitted in those genes — a bedside-to-bench loop for rare-disease work in India.
