get_gene_info
Retrieve gene information from the gnomAD database using Ensembl gene IDs or symbols to access genomic metadata and annotations.
Instructions
[gnomAD API] Retrieve gene information (v4 only) Args: gene_id (str, optional): Ensembl gene ID (e.g. ENSG00000139618) gene_symbol (str, optional): Gene symbol (e.g. PCSK9) Returns: dict: gene info Note: Not supported in v2/v3. Use search_for_genes instead.
