alterlab-ieu alterlab-clinvar
Query NCBI ClinVar via the E-utilities API or FTP for the clinical significance (pathogenicity) of human germline genetic variants, searching by gene, variant, condition, or genomic position and interpreting ACMG/AMP classifications and review-status star ratings. Use when assessing whether a variant is pathogenic, likely pathogenic, VUS, likely benign, or benign, resolving conflicting interpretations, or annotating a VCF with ClinVar clinical significance. For population allele frequencies by ancestry use alterlab-gnomad; for somatic cancer mutation frequencies use alterlab-cosmic. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
