About Human Pigmentation Database

The Human Pigmentation Database (HPDB) is a curated, publicly accessible resource providing comprehensive information on the genetic basis of human pigmentation and pigmentary disorders. It catalogues genes and genetic variants associated with skin, hair, and eye pigmentation across diverse human populations, including variants implicated in primary and secondary pigmentary disorders.

Features of HPDB

  • Data is parsed, comprehensive and updated every six months.

  • It is open access.

  • It provides a single platform integrating genetic information on human pigmentation and pigmentary disorders.

  • It includes a search engine with basic and advanced search options.

  • Genes are linked to their corresponding UniProt protein IDs.
