Dear all,

Can we get gene information (such as gene HUGO symbol, molecular consequences, gene RefSeq Id) for a given rsID using ncbi eutils?

For example, for rs760076932, can we get the following information? RNF130, intron variant

Thanks in advance, Burçak Otlu

I don't know about eutils, but you can convert the rs ID to a vcf file (using e.g. dbSNP batch converter) and use a tool such as variant effect predictor (VEP), snpeff or similar to get the desired information.
