Using Ensembl API to Display Allele Frequency Information

Question

[shamsbhuiyan92]

Hello World!

So I was wondering if there was a way to display allele frequency information using an ensembl transcript ID and a position within that transcript. For example I have ENSMUST00000023809 and a position 1203. Would I be able to retrieve allele frequency information using just this information? I would I have to provide an rsID?

Thank you!\

You might be better off putting it into the VEP. Express your transcript and position as HGNC notation (e.g. ENSMUST00000023809:c.1203C>G) and the VEP will give you rsIDs and will also allow you to view the allele frequency if it's available. You can use the VEP as a Perl script or an online tool.
