How do I search for pathogenic variants in a specific gene?

You can use specific search patterns such as 'BRCA1[gene] AND pathogenic[CLNSIG]' via the web interface or programmatically through the E-utilities API.

What is ClinVar used for in bioinformatics?

ClinVar is a public archive that aggregates reports on the relationships between human genetic variants and phenotypes, providing standardized classifications like pathogenic, benign, or VUS.

Can I use this skill to process large VCF files?

Yes, the skill provides patterns for using tools like bcftools and Python to annotate, filter, and analyze ClinVar VCF data for both GRCh37 and GRCh38 builds.

How should I handle conflicting variant interpretations?

The skill suggests prioritizing higher star ratings, checking submission dates for recent evidence, and reviewing population frequency data like gnomAD to resolve conflicts.

What do the ClinVar star ratings indicate?

Star ratings represent the review status: 4 stars for practice guidelines, 3 for expert panels, 2 for multiple submitters without conflict, 1 for single submitters, and 0 for no criteria provided.
