Launch of EAHAD Unified Coagulation Factor Variant Databases

Launch of EAHAD Unified Coagulation Factor Variant Databases

We are pleased to report that the existing EAHAD individual coagulation factor variant web databases have been brought together into a single unified site at https://dbs.eahad.org.

This move harmonizes all existing EAHAD databases and takes advantage of improvements in web hosting and security. The unified site collects together the genetic variant and case data from all the previous separate, single-factor EAHAD sites, using a simplified and consistent layout: in addition the updated structure will greatly facilitate addition of new data. The previous EAHAD sites have now been retired, but access to this new combined site remains free to all.

The site is newly built from the ground up using the most secure software tools and is structured to allow listings of cases with variants in multiple coagulation factor genes. A gene/coagulation factor of interest tab is simply selected from the top bar. Most features from the previous sites have been incorporated, or will be added in the near future. As with any large software project there may be things that aren’t quite right yet: we welcome any bug reports via the Feedback tab to the right of the site.

New tabs for von Willebrand factor, fibrinogen and factor XIII will be added in due course. Currently EAHAD VWF data may be accessed at LOVD: https://databases.lovd.nl/shared/genes/VWF and the Hanss/GEHT fibrinogen database may be accessed here: https://dbs.eahad.org/human-fibrinogen-home/
