Differentiate ClinVar variants with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity

[nawatts]

Currently, ClinVar variants with multiple interpretations are all labeled as "Conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity". On the variant page, details about each submission can be seen. On the gene/region/transcript pages, however, there's no way to get more detail about the conflict.

The ClinVar track on these pages should include whether the variant is "Conflicting (P/LP vs. VUS/LB/B)” or “Conflicting (VUS vs. LB/B)".

Hi Nick,

I download VCF files and try to find "likely pathogenic, Conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity" information, however, it looks ClinVar annotation is not existed in download VCF, right?

Thanks.

Correct. The ClinVar data displayed in the browser is downloaded from ClinVar about once a month. It is not included in the gnomAD release files.
