PhenoScanner is a curated database of publicly available results from large-scale genetic association studies. This tool aims to facilitate 'phenome scans', the cross-referencing of genetic variants with many phenotypes, to help aid understanding of disease pathways and biology. The database currently contains over 350 million association results and over 10 million unique genetic variants, mostly single nucleotide polymorphisms. It is accompanied by a web-based tool that queries the database for associations with user-specified variants, providing results according to the same effect and non-effect alleles for each input variant. The tool provides the option of searching for trait associations with proxies of the input variants, calculated using the European samples from 1000 Genomes and Hapmap.

PhenoScanner是一个经过整理的数据库,收录了大规模基因关联研究的公开可用结果。该工具旨在促进“表型扫描”,即基因变异与多种表型的交叉引用,以帮助理解疾病途径和生物学。该数据库目前包含超过3.5亿个关联结果和超过1000万个独特的基因变异,其中大部分是单核苷酸多态性。它还附带了一个基于网络的工具,可查询数据库中与用户指定变异相关的关联信息,并根据每个输入变异的相同效应和非效应等位基因提供结果。该工具提供了搜索与输入变异的代理性状关联的选项,这些代理是使用来自千人基因组计划和Hapmap的欧洲样本计算得出的。
