How to get data from the GWAS Catalog

Once you have completed a search you can obtain the results in various formats:

  • A visual display on the webpage, as we have just explored
  • A .tsv file of each individual results table that can be downloaded by selecting the export icon (Figure 18), and then imported into Excel
  • A large .tsv file of the entire Catalog via our downloads page
  • You can also access our GWAS Catalog karyotype diagram here, which allows you to explore a visualisation of the data across the human chromosomes
  • You can download summary statistics files from individual studies or the summary statistics page
  • You can access the data programmatically via our API
