We need to evaluate a large number of human SNPs for their possible association with a disease. So far, the closest I've seen is SNPedia, but a database would be more helpful.
You are welcome. For non-coding mutations, it might be useful to look at the COSMIC database (catalog of somatic mutations in cancer). There are both coding and non-coding mutations in this resource. However, not all mutations are drivers. Some of them may be passengers.
Miguel, you can try to look at The Genetic Association Database which is an archive of human genetic association studies of complex diseases and disorders:
Note that you'll want to make sure you use a reference population (ethnicity) that is as close as possible to the population in your study.
If you have a SNP in high LD with a GWAS SNP, it's reasonable to conclude that your SNP is also associated with the disease.
We have far less information on disease *causing* mutations, and the vast majority of these are amino-acid changing variants. As mentioned above, hgmd, omim and uniprot are all good options for these.
Miguel, I think that one of the best databases you can use to answer your question is HuGE Navigator which is an integrated, searchable knowledge base of genetic associations and human genome epidemiology.
You access it at a web site: http://www.hugenavigator.net/HuGENavigator/home.do
Here is a site listing known SNPs associated with diseases and other traits grouped into categories: http://www.eupedia.com/genetics/medical_dna_test.shtml
From what I understand, having a particular SNP is not a definite cause for the disease but rather a chance developing a particular disease. Hope, it is useful. Elena
The premise that the association of disease with Single Nucleotide Plymorphisms in the Genome Wide Association Studies has revealed taht genetic components usually explain a little number of cases, and it was a reductionist view of genotype-phenotype correlation, because de mayority diseases are a complex traits.
