MUMBAI, India, June 26 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641053287 A) filed by Saveetha Institute Of Medical And Technical Sciences on April 27, 2026, for Rare Variant Database : A Centralized Resource For Rare Disease Genomic Data.
Inventors include Maanu Shreya S; Dr. Arangasamy; and Dr Ramya Mohan.
The application for the patent was published on June 19, 2026, under issue no. 25/2026.
Abstract: The present invention pertains to a bioinformatics platform named "RareVariant Database," designed to serve as a centralized repository for genomic variants associated with rare diseases. This platform integrates curated variant data from multiple public databases, including ClinVar, dbSNP, and OMIM, enabling real-time search, disease-specific filtering, and annotation of rare genetic variants. The system features an intuitive web interface that allows researchers and clinicians to explore variants based on gene, disease, or variant identifiers. Incorporating a 3D protein structure viewer, the platform facilitates the visualization of variant impacts on protein conformation. Furthermore, the database supports user contributions through a structured submission form, with entries stored in a secure backend database. Future enhancements include the integration of RESTful APIs and cross-platform compatibility to support broader clinical and research applications.
