How to get customized information from OMIM/ClinVar?

Question

[nkav2]

Hello all,

I have a list of genes and I want to get all of variations in these genes that contribute to a certain disease, their rs IDs and the population based on which the study was carried out.

So far I have been doing this through OMIM: I type the gene name in OMIM, click on the ClinVar in the resulting page and from there I see the rs IDs and if I check the article of the study, then I can find the population of the study. This, however, takes TOO LONG and I have about 150 genes in my list.

Does anyone know any shortcut to this? How can I customize the database and get the information I want? Is there a software for it? Can I request NVBI to do this for me?

Thank you! Much appreciated.

You might want to look at the NCBI clinvar download site. There are several tab delimited text files that may be of interest.
