A global initiative to catalogue all human genetic variation, making that information freely available to researchers, clinicians and patients worldwide.

The Human Variome Project will bring the fruits of the Human Genome Project to impact upon healthcare and create a global resource for those affected by a genetic disorder. Two out of three people will be affected by a gene variation at some time in their lives … that’s why it’s essential we document and share all we know about these variations and their effect on humanity.
