The American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG)-recommended five variant classification categories (pathogenic, likely pathogenic, uncertain significance, likely benign, and benign) have been widely used in medical genetics. However, these guidelines are fundamentally constrained in practice owi...
Variant classification has evolved in a decentralized fashion leading to a multitude of approaches, most developed by molecular diagnostic laboratories for internal use. As sequencing tests become a routine tool in managing health, it is vital to harmonize and centralize knowledge and approaches. Key ...
Although we expect that, in general, these guidelines will apply for variant classification regardless of whether the variant was identified through analysis of a single gene, gene panel, exome, genome, or transcriptome, it is important to consider the differences between implicating a variant as ...
five sections to arrive at a final CNV classification. After a user imports and filters CNVs in VarSeq, they can access the tool for CNV clinical analysis and reporting in VSClinical. Within the VSClinical CNV tab, each of the five sections presents the user with an automated score and/or ...
Functional studies can be a powerful tool in support of pathogenicity; however, not all functional studies are effective in predicting an impact on a gene or protein function. 例如, 一些酶学实验利用成熟完善的方法可以用来评估错义变异在代谢途径中对酶活性的影响(如α-半乳糖苷酶功能实验);而另一方面...

These recommendations have relevance for all users of the ACMG/AMP variant classification guidelines, both within and outside of the VCEP context. Material and methods Establishment of the ClinGen SVI Splicing Subgroup The remit of the ClinGen SVI Splicing Subgroup was to refine recommendations for...
We hope that this will be a useful tool for clinical characterisation of PRPF31 variants of uncertain significance, and can be extended to variant classification in other ciliopathies.doi:10.1007/s00439-020-02228-1Liliya NazlamovaN. Simon Thomas...
However, variability between individual interpreters can be extensive because of reasons such as the different understandings of these guidelines and the lack of standard algorithms for implementing them, yet computational tools for semi-automated variant interpretation are not available. To address these ...
