DINAX- a comprehensive database of inherited ataxias. [PMID: 33007622]
BACKGROUND: Neurodegenerative disorders such as hereditary ataxia often manifest overlapping symptoms and are likely to be misdiagnosed based on clinical phenotypes. To identify the genes associated with such disorders for diagnostic purposes, geneticists often use high throughput technologies which generate an enormous amount of data on variants whose relevance can be unclear. Besides, analysis and interpretation of high throughput data require gleaning of several web-based resources which can be laborious and time-consuming. To overcome these, we have created a Database for Inherited Ataxia (DINAX), a repository of gene variants from publicly available information. |
