CDG: Closest Disease-causing Genes
An online resource for the identification and discovery of gene-disease associations.
CDG online servers:
CDG databases:
- CDG predicted gene-phenotype associations, based on HGMD (.xlsx format, 30.95MB)
- CDG known gene-phenotype associations, based on HGMD (.xlsx format, 463KB)
- CDG predicted gene-phenotype associations, based on OMIM (.xlsx format, 22.30MB)
- CDG known gene-phenotype associations, based on OMIM (.xlsx format, 112KB)
A major challenge in medical genomics is to select new potential disease-causing genes from patients' next generation sequencing data (NGS) when the genes obtained had not been previously associated to any phenotype.
To facilitate the discovery of novel gene-disease associations, the CDG database and server provide the putative biologically-closest known disease-causing genes (and their associated phenotypes) for 13,005 human genes not reported to be disease-causing. And, for any list of diseases, their predicted associated genes. CDG also reports the 5,430 known gene-disease associations if corresponding.
