dbSNP (NCBI)

dbSNP, NCBI's database of human short genetic variants (build 157: 1.17 billion live RefSNPs), through the keyless NCBI Variation Services API. Read one RefSNP by rsID: its GRCh38 and GRCh37 chromosome positions (1-based) and alleles with SPDI and HGVS, RefSeqGene placement, the genes, MANE Select and RefSeq transcripts it hits with HGVS c./p., one-letter amino-acid change and Sequence Ontology consequences, allele frequencies from each contributing study (gnomAD, 1000 Genomes, TOPMed, ALFA and about 30 others), ClinVar significance with RCV and VCV accessions and MONDO/OMIM/MedGen condition IDs, and citing PubMed IDs. Or read ALFA allele counts and frequencies across its 12 populations. Merged rsIDs are followed; withdrawn, unsupported and unknown ones are not_found with the reason. NCBI places no restrictions on the data; every result carries attribution, the contributing studies and, for ALFA, NIH's genomic summary results terms.
