The SNP Consortium
A non-profit foundation set up by the Wellcome Trust and various pharmaceutical companies to develop up to 300,000 SNPs distributed evenly throughout the human genome and to make the information related to those SNPs publicly available. The data are also submitted to dbSNP.

dbSNP - A Database of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms
In collaboration with the National Human Genome Research Institute, The National Center for Biotechnology Information has established the dbSNP database to serve as a central repository for both single base nucleotide subsitutions and short deletion and insertion polymorphisms. Once discovered, these polymorphisms could be used by additional laboratories, using the sequence information around the polymorphism and the specific experimental conditions. (Note that dbSNP takes the looser 'variation' definition for SNPs, so there is no requirement or assumption about minimum allele frequency.) The data in dbSNP will be integrated with other NCBI genomic data. As with all NCBI projects, the data in dbSNP will be freely available to the scientific community and made available in a variety of forms.

HGBASE - human genic bi-allelic sequences - SNPs
HGBASE lists human intra-genic promoter to transcription end point DNA sequence polymorphisms. It has been constructed by The Department of Genetics and Pathology at Uppsala University and Interactiva Biotechnologie GmbH. HGBASE does not include gene mutations, but is a catalogue of intra-genic sequence variants found in normal individuals. Despite its name, HGBASE contains all types of gene based variation and is not limited to bi-allelic Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms SNP s. Functionally consequential polymorphisms e.g. promoter and non-silent codon changes and other polymorphisms e.g. intron sequence differences are included.

Search tools are provided to find data within HGBASE. Searches utilise a text string or a DNA sequence. Data submission is by a series of Web page data submission forms. All submitted data is made available to other public databases. The exponential growth in polymorphism discovery requires that scientists make every effort to submit their data to HGBASE to ensure it remains up to date. HGBASE does not claim any rights to publicly available or submitted data, instead this remains the property of the original submitter/discoverer. Deposition of data within HGBASE requires only the allelic DNA sequence, the allele frequencies, the host gene name, and the intra-genic domain. Additional information, such as assay conditions, can be supplied but this is optional.

The Human Gene Mutation Database - HGMD (Cardiff)
This database represents an attempt to collate the majority of known (published) gene lesions responsible for human inherited disease. Originally established for the study of mutational mechanisms in human genes (Cooper and Krawczak 1993), these databases have acquired a much broader utility in that they currently represent the only available comprehensive reference source to the spectrum of mutations underlying human genetic disease. They thus provide information of practical diagnostic importance to (i) researchers in human molecular genetics, (ii) physicians interested in a particular inherited condition in a given patient or family and (iii) genetic counsellors.

Frequency of Inherited Disorders Database (FIDD)
The Frequency of Inherited Disorders Database (FIDD) has been established for use in a clinical context, in medical research, for epidemiological studies, and in the planning of genetic services.

It represents the first easily accessible repository of published data on the frequency of human inherited disorders worldwide. Data collated include the disease categorized by organ system, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) number, mode of inheritance, population origin, prevalence and/or incidence rate, and a literature reference.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Human Genome
This website is designed to provide the human genetics community with access to single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) that have been developed as genetic markers on the human genome. The site is organized by chromosomes and cytogenetic location. Each SNP has PCR primer and conditions associated with it.

Currently, we only post the SNPs that we have helped to develop. After we have posted all of our SNPs, we'll be adding SNPs from the literature and from collaborators, and we will be happy to have others contribute to the database.

Database of germline p53 mutations
A comprehensive database covering all published cases of germline p53 mutations. The current version lists 580 tumours in 448 individuals belonging to 122 independent pedigrees. The database describes each p53 mutation (type of the mutation, exon and codon affected by the mutation, nucleotide and amino acid change), each family (family history of cancer, diagnosis of Li-Fraumeni syndrome), each affected individual (sex, generation, p53 status, from which parent the mutation was inherited) and each tumour (type, age of onset, p53 status-loss of heterozygosity, immunostaining). Each entry contains the original reference(s).

p53link - P53 database integration

We review here the structure and expression of the WRN locus, and the spectrum of WS-associated WRN mutations. The organization and potential functions of the WRN protein are discussed, as are potential mechanistic links between mutational inactivation or loss of WRN and pathogenesis of the WS clinical and cellular phenotypes.
