Given a missense variant ID, is there a way (via a database or even flat file) to request its estimate frequency or some other importance metric?

By importance metric I mean: how common is this mutation in the average global population or how many times it happens for each 1000 individuals etc.

Thanks you in advance!
<p>Of course, check the FAQs from the 1000 Genomes paper: http://www.1000genomes.org/faq/how-can-i-get-allele-frequency-my-variant</p>

<p>You can also use the <strong>--indv </strong>option in vcftools to select only the individuals belonging to a single population, to obtain the MAF only in that population.</p>
