Population allele frequencies and gene constraint (Broad Institute)
gnomAD, the Genome Aggregation Database of the Broad Institute, through the public GraphQL API behind its browser: how often a variant occurs in 807,162 people (v4.1) by sequencing type (exomes, genomes, both combined) and genetic ancestry group, with homozygote and hemizygote counts, quality filters, the grpmax filtering allele frequency and its consequence on the MANE Select transcript with LOFTEE's loss-of-function call; a gene's constraint (pLI, LOEUF with its confidence interval and percentile, observed and expected pLoF, missense and synonymous variants, z scores); and the variants gnomAD lists in a gene, filtered by consequence, LOFTEE call and allele frequency. Takes gene symbols, Ensembl IDs, gnomAD variant IDs, rsIDs, ClinGen allele IDs and browser URLs, on gnomAD v4.1 and v3.1.2 (GRCh38) or v2.1.1 (GRCh37). Primary data is CC0: every answer carries gnomAD's attribution, citation and terms of use.
