This table summarises the variants reported in UniProt, ClinVar & VarSome user entries for a given gene. This is useful in order to obtain some high-level insights into the modes of pathogenicity for that gene, for example whether synonymous variants mostly benign, or whether the majority of frame-shift variants are pathogenic.

\n\n

Methodology

\n\n

The aggregate counts are obtained by scanning all the variant classifications in the the UniProt, ClinVar and VarSome databases. For each variant we identify which gene(s) it\u00a0is on. We then iterate through all known transcripts for that gene, and identify the coding impacts (frame-shift, non-sense etc.). Finally we aggregate the counts by gene, coding impact and pathogenicity.

\n\n

In order to avoid double-counting, each variant is only recorded once:

\n\n

in the event that the variant is classified differently by several sources, the \u201cmost definitive\u201d classification is picked. If there is still a conflict the most pathogenic classification will supercede the others.
if different transcripts result in multiple coding impacts, we pick the first found in the following order: exon-deletion, non-sense, frame-shift, stop loss, mis-sense, inframe-indel, synonymous, and finally non-coding. This allows regulatory or non-coding sections of genes to still be reported correctly.

\n\n

All ClinVar entries are counted and\u00a0are not filtered by number of stars.

\n", "Allele origin": "

Whether the variant is reported as germline or somatic in the ClinVar database.

\n", "pLI": "

The probability of being loss-of-function intolerant (intolerant of both heterozygous and homozygous loss-of-function variants)

\n", "Allele Count": "

The number of chromosomes in the population that countain the alternate (non-reference) allele.

\n", "pNull": "

The probability of being tolerant of both heterozygous and homozygous loss-of-function variants

\n", "fitCons-gm": "

Fitcons (FITness CONSequences of functional annotation) identifies genomic regions that are under selective pressure by integrating epigenomic signals from three ENCODE cell lines (GM12878, H1-hESC and HUVEC) with selective pressure inferred using the INSIGHT ((Inference of Natural Selection from Interspersed Genomically coHerent elemenTs) method. Fitcons-gm represents scores from the the GM12878 cell line. This method has been trained on genomes of 54 unrelated human individuals from the 69 sequences released by Complete Genomics. Range\u00a00 to 0.958517.

\n", "Missense Z-score": "

Deviation of observed counts from the expected number of\u00a0missense variants. Positive Z scores indicate increased constraint (intolerance to variation) and therefore that the gene had fewer variants than expected. Negative Z scores are given to genes that had more variants than expected.

\n", "IARC TP53 Germline": "

The International Agency for Research on Cancer\u00a0database on the TP53 gene.

\n\n

The Germline database contains germline pathogenic variants in familial cancers.

\n", "GERP NR": "GERP's corresponding 'neutral rate' score of the site. It can be used to calculate an alternative conservation measure, a scaled GERP RS score (RS/NR ratio).", "Insertion": "A variant where a nucleic acid sequence is inserted and does not substitute any nucleotides of the reference genome.", "missense": "

A single nucleotide change in a protein-coding gene that results in an amino\u00a0acid substitution in the corresponding protein.
