text2gene — variant literature search

Find every paper about your variant

Enter an HGVS-formatted genetic variant. text2gene searches LitVar2, ClinVar, Europe PMC, and Google Scholar simultaneously using expanded query forms — gene synonyms, alternate notations, and protein codes — to surface literature that standard searches miss. Built for rare and orphan diseases where every paper counts.

Multi-transcript search

Expands your variant across all transcript versions via VariantValidator — surfacing literature that used older or alternate notations.

Four sources, one query

LitVar2, ClinVar, Europe PMC, and Google all searched in parallel. PMIDs found by multiple sources are ranked highest.

Accepts HGVS transcript (NM_...), genomic (NC_...), or protein (NP_...) notation.
