PhenoScanner V2: an expanded tool for searching human genotype–phenotype associations
Open accessAbstract
Summary: PhenoScanner is a curated database of publicly available results from large-scale genetic association studies in humans. This online tool facilitates ‘phenome scans’, where genetic variants are cross-referenced for association with many phenotypes of different types. Here we present a major update of PhenoScanner (‘PhenoScanner V2’), including over 150 million genetic variants and more than 65 billion associations (compared to 350 million associations in PhenoScanner V1) with diseases and traits, gene expression, metabolite and protein levels, and epigenetic markers. The query options have been extended to include searches by genes, genomic regions and phenotypes, as well as for genetic variants. All variants are positionally annotated using the Variant Effect Predictor and the phenotypes are mapped to Experimental Factor Ontology terms. Linkage disequilibrium statistics from the 1000 Genomes project can be used to search for phenotype associations with proxy variants. Availability and implementation: PhenoScanner V2 is available at www.phenoscanner.medschl.cam.ac.uk.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
