ACMG Variant Pathogenicity Statement Example

Description:

  • The Pathogenicity Statement data below adds instructive annotations to this Simple Test Fixtures Example from ClinGen’s “ClinVar-GKS” implementation of the Variant Pathogenicity Statement (ACMG 2015) Profile.

  • The annotations are intended to help readers better understand the structure, semantics, and utility of VA-Spec models.

  • The example itself covers a subset of data from the ClinVar SCV000778434.1 record - which reports that “the KCNQ4 variant NM_004700.4:c.803CCT[1] is pathogenic for Autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss 2A”.

  • Note that the data below omits a full representation of the CategoricalVariation that is the subject of the Statement - as this is the remit of the CatVRS specification.
