Publishing Functionally-Validated Sequence Variants at Scale in the ClinVar Database at the US National Institutes of Health: Our Experience
Learning objectives
Introduce ClinVar and it’s role in interpreting gene variants from next generation genome sequencing of patients with clinical diagnoses.
Learn about a new type of submission of variants with functional data supporting a pathological role.
Unforeseen challenges in submitting a peer-reviewed, large database of mRNA splicing mutations to ClinVar.
Integrate evidence based functional data with ACMG/AMP criteria for variant pathogenicity from previous submissions and implications.
