is a Data Source.
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 The resource has been archived and is no longer maintained or updated, and its original web portal is no longer reachable.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.

The Genetic Association Database (GAD) was a NIH-hosted archive of published human genetic association studies, organizing reported relationships between genes and complex diseases or phenotypes drawn from the peer-reviewed literature. It was intended to provide a standardized, searchable record of gene-disease associations for human genetics research.
GAD has been archived and discontinued. The original portal at https://geneticassociationdb.nih.gov/ no longer resolves and is preserved only via web archives (a snapshot exists in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine). Content should be treated as historical, and associations should be verified against more current resources.
GAD served as an upstream primary source for derived resources, including PharmDB, which incorporated GAD gene-disease associations among its integrated inputs.
