Search for genetic variants in the NCBI LitVar2 database by rsID, gene name, or HGVS notation. LitVar2 links genetic variants to their mentions in PubMed literature. Returns variant identifiers, associated gene names, HGVS nomenclature, publication counts, and clinical significance when available. Useful for finding which variants have been studied for a gene or identifying literature-linked variants by rsID.
