Genetic Association Database
The Genetic Association Database (GAD) was an archive of human genetic association studies compiled from peer-reviewed literature, cataloging reported links between genes and complex diseases or phenotypes. Developed and hosted at the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), it aimed to support standardized analysis of gene-disease associations. The resource has been archived and is no longer maintained or updated, and its original web portal is no longer reachable. GAD served as an upstream primary source for downstream resources such as PharmDB.
