query
Search aggregated human genetic-variant annotations on MyVariant.info. Accepts an rsID ("rs58991260"), an HGVS id ("chr1:g.218631822G>A"), or a fielded query ("dbnsfp.genename:CDK2", "clinvar.rcv.clinical_significance:pathogenic"). Each hit merges dbSNP, ClinVar clinical significance, CADD/dbNSFP d…
variant
Get the full merged annotation for a single human genetic variant by its HGVS id (e.g. "chr7:g.140453136A>T"). Returns annotations aggregated from dbSNP, ClinVar (pathogenicity / clinical significance), CADD and dbNSFP (deleteriousness/conservation scores), and gnomAD (population allele frequencies…
