SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the complexity and high error rate in clinical variant interpretation by providing a structured, evidence-based reasoning framework that aligns with professional ACMG/AMP and AMP/ASCO/CAP standards.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Standardized Classification: Applies rigorous ACMG/AMP 2015 germline and AMP/ASCO/CAP 2017 somatic frameworks to ensure clinical accuracy.
  • Evidence Reconciliation: Helps resolve conflicting data from ClinVar, gnomAD, and in silico predictors like REVEL and SpliceAI.
  • Use Case: A researcher needs to determine if a novel missense variant is pathogenic; this skill guides the agent to check gene-disease validity, apply the PVS1 decision tree, and weigh population frequency against functional evidence.

Quick Start

Invoke the genomic-variant-interpretation skill to classify the variant NM_000123.4:c.456G>A using the ACMG framework and provide a justification based on current ClinGen guidelines.

FAQPage Schema
How do I classify genomic variants using the ACMG framework?

To classify genomic variants using the ACMG framework, apply a structured reasoning process that evaluates pathogenicity, clinical actionability, and gene-disease validity using population frequency filtering and evidence-based criteria weighting.

What is the best way to interpret conflicting pathogenicity evidence from ClinVar and gnomAD?

Interpreting conflicting pathogenicity evidence requires reconciling population frequency data from gnomAD with clinical database entries like ClinVar using established decision trees and weighted evidence criteria to ensure scientific accuracy.

How do I apply the AMP/ASCO/CAP standards for somatic variant interpretation?

Applying AMP/ASCO/CAP standards for somatic variant interpretation involves evaluating clinical actionability and pathogenicity through a structured, evidence-based reasoning framework aligned with 2017 professional guidelines.

Can I use in silico predictors like REVEL and SpliceAI for clinical variant classification?

Yes, in silico predictors like REVEL and SpliceAI can be used for clinical variant classification by integrating their functional predictions into the evidence-based criteria weighting process to support pathogenicity decisions.

When do I need to use the PVS1 decision tree for variant pathogenicity evaluation?

The PVS1 decision tree is needed when evaluating novel loss-of-function variants for pathogenicity, guiding the agent to systematically check gene-disease validity and weigh functional evidence against population frequency data.

Does this variant interpretation approach support both germline and somatic workflows?

Yes, this variant interpretation approach supports both germline and somatic workflows by applying the 2015 ACMG/AMP and 2017 AMP/ASCO/CAP classification frameworks respectively to ensure clinical research and diagnostic accuracy.
