Locus-Specific DataBases (LSDBs) store information on gene sequence variation associated with human phenotypes and are frequently used as a reference by researchers clinicians. We developed the Leiden Open-source Variation Database (LOVD) platform-independent Web-based LSDB-in-a-Box package. LOVD was designed to be easy set up maintain follows Human Genome Society (HGVS) recommendations. Here we describe v.2.0, which adds enhanced flexibility functionality has capacity variants in multiple...
Summary Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is caused predominately by variants in the low‐density lipoprotein receptor gene ( LDLR ). We report here an update of UCL variant database to include reported literature and in‐house between 2008 2010, transfer LOVDv.2.0 platform https://grenada.lumc.nl/LOVD2/UCL‐Heart/home.php?select_db=LDLR ) pathogenicity analysis. The now contains over 1288 different FH patients: 55% exonic substitutions, 22% small rearrangements (<100 bp), 11% large...
Gene variant databases or Locus-Specific DataBases (LSDBs) are used to collect and display information on sequence variants a gene-by-gene basis. Their most frequent use is in relation DNA-based diagnostics, giving clinicians scientists easy access an up-to-date overview of all gene identified worldwide whether they influence the function ("pathogenic not"). While literature extensive, little has been published process database curation itself. Based our extensive experience as LSDB curators...
Serotonin type 3 (5-HT3 ) receptors are ligand-gated ion channels formed by five subunits (5-HT3A-E), which encoded the HTR3A, HTR3B, HTR3C, HTR3D, and HTR3E genes. Functional pentameric complexes of diverse composition. Different receptor subtypes confer a predisposition to nausea vomiting during chemotherapy, pregnancy, following surgery. In addition, different contribute neurogastroenterologic disorders such irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) eating as well comorbid psychiatric conditions....
