The Pharmacogene Variation (PharmVar) Consortium is the new home for PGx gene nomenclature serving as a centralized ‘Next-Generation’ Pharmacogene Variation data repository. The major focus of PharmVar is to catalogue allelic variation of genes impacting drug metabolism, disposition and response and provide a unifying designation system (nomenclature) for the global pharmacogenetic/genomic community. Efforts are synchronized between PharmVar, the Pharmacogenomic KnowledgeBase, and the Clinical Pharmacogenetic Implementation Consortium.

This resource is a provider. This means that while it may have its own prefix, it actually reuses the identifiers provided by the hgnc.symbol prefix. For all use cases, you should use hgnc.symbol instead of pharmvar.

Provides

hgnc.symbol

The metaregistry provides mappings between the Bioregistry and other registries. There are 1 mappings to external registries for this resource with 1 unique external prefixes.

A provider turns a local unique identifiers from a resource into a URI. Many providers are also resolvable as URLs (i.e., they can be used in a web browser).

The local unique identifier CYP2A6 is used to demonstrate the providers available for Pharmacogene Variation Consortium. A guide for curating additional providers can be found here.

Additional providers curated in the Bioregistry are listed here. These are typically inherited from Identifiers.org or Prefix Commons, and need extra curation.
