Hi all, is there any other useful databases for chromosomal variation? I would like to know the useful database that recoreds disease-causing variations which mapped by using STS markers and so on (not microarrays).

Followings are useful links. Any help would be great thanks.

You can use NCBI ELink to map from the diseases in OMIM to UniSTS. For example, to map the STS linked to the 'LYNCH SYNDROME I' ( omim:120435 ) : http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=omim&db=unists&id=120435

Result:

<eLinkResult>

    <LinkSet>
        <DbFrom>omim</DbFrom>
        <IdList>
            <Id>120435</Id>
        </IdList>
        <LinkSetDb>

            <DbTo>unists</DbTo>
            <LinkName>omim_unists</LinkName>
            <Link>
                <Id>64072</Id>
            </Link>
            <Link>
                <Id>888</Id>

            </Link>
        </LinkSetDb>
    </LinkSet>
</eLinkResult>

both sts (64072 and 888) are unists: 64072 = D2S123

Great! Thank you for nice example. Combining ELINK and UCSC genome browser (BED) seems to be sufficient and useful!

Does this give you a list of CNVs/SVs that were discovered using STSs, or just the STS ids mapped to genes corresponding to OMIM entries?

it's the second case

The following review article does a nice job of summarizing online resources for structural variation:

Sneddon TP, Church DM. Online resources for genomic structural variation. Methods Mol Biol. 2012;838:273-89. PubMed PMID: 22228017.
