Note: We do not accept protein insertions, deletions or frameshift variants, since they usually cannot be mapped to one or a few alternative genomic variants. All protein variants are converted into genomic variants, and only those affecting a single codon are considered; therefore a single amino acid subscritution coming from alterations to more than one codon, or one that truncates the protein may not be mapped from your query to all possible genomic variants giving rise to it.
