Can this skill help access raw summary statistics?

Yes, it provides documentation and code implementation patterns for accessing the GWAS Catalog Summary Statistics REST API and FTP server for full study data.

Can I filter results by statistical significance?

Yes, the skill includes patterns to filter associations by p-value, such as focusing on the standard genome-wide significance threshold of p ≤ 5×10⁻⁸.

Does it support gene-centric association queries?

Absolutely. You can search for variants located within or near specific gene symbols to understand their phenotypic associations and genomic context.

How do I search for a specific SNP using this skill?

You can use the variant search mode by providing the rs ID (e.g., rs7903146) to Claude, which will then use the GWAS Catalog API patterns to retrieve all associated traits and statistical evidence.

Is an API key required for GWAS Catalog access?

No, the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog REST API is publicly accessible and does not require an API key for standard research queries.

Queries the NHGRI-EBI GWAS Catalog for SNP-trait associations, genetic variants, and summary statistics to support genetic epidemiology and polygenic risk score development.

This skill enables Claude to interact effectively with the GWAS Catalog, the premier repository for published genome-wide association studies maintained by NHGRI and EBI. It provides comprehensive guidance for searching variants by rs ID, exploring disease-specific associations, and querying genes or chromosomal regions through both the web interface and REST APIs. By facilitating access to p-values, risk alleles, and summary statistics, this skill is essential for researchers performing systematic reviews, functional genomic analysis, and population genetics studies.
