Connected Insights includes the Flags filter that filters variants by the custom flags defined in Test Components. For more information, refer to Configuration
Variants filters provide options for applying any combination of inclusion and exclusion criteria to the variants in a case. Filter criteria can vary depending on the selected variant categories. If filters are applied to more than one variant category in the same filter group, only filters relevant for all variant categories are available. For more information, refer to Filter by Variant Category.
Each filter combination resides on a different tab in the variant grid. Default filter views are defined in the test definition. You can create filter tabs in the grid for as many additional views as necessary. Filters applied in the variant grid are specific to the selected case.
For more information about filter options, refer to Filter by Variant Category and Filtering Logic
When you configure a new test, you can add one or more specific filters to the test definition. The filters become default filters and are applied to every case in your workgroup. The default filters are locked and shown in the first tabs of the variant grid. For more information, refer to .
The default filter tabs, indicated by a lock, cannot be altered or deleted for the cases already processed. To change or delete default filters, you must update the filters that are used in the test definition and reprocess the case and upcoming cases through the updated test definition.
Included with Connected Insights, a demonstration of the filtering is provided as a template for you to define your own filter views. In the primary filter group, the filter is set up to return all variants categories (ie small variants, copy number variants, structural variants, RNA fusion variants, and RNA splice variants) and requiring that these are called with a PASS by each of the variant callers. In the subsequent filter groups, the filter is set up to apply variant category-specific logic.
Configure and modify case-specific filter views in new or unlocked variant grid tabs. The default filter tabs, indicated by a lock, cannot be altered or deleted.
Create a tab using one of the following methods:
To create a filter, select New Filter.
To copy an existing filter, select the tab drop-down arrow and then select Duplicate Filter.
To lock a filter view, select the tab drop-down arrow, and then select Lock Filter. Locked filter views are indicated by a blue lock and cannot be deleted.
To edit a filter name, select the tab drop-down arrow, and then select Edit Filter Name.
After editing the name, select Save.
To save a filter view, select Edit Variant Filters, then select Save As. The filter is saved and can be configured in the test definitions to be a default filter and be used across cases. Column configurations and filter dependencies are saved with the filter.
To remove a filter view, delete the tab. Default tabs are indicated by a lock and cannot be deleted.
Export a list of variants and variant data to a tab-delimited file.
The maximum number of exported variants in a list is 7500. If the list exceeds the maximum, only the first 7500 results are included in the exported file.
Configure the filters and flags to show only the variants to export.
Select the tab drop-down arrow, and then select Export Grid as TSV.
This page summarizes filters related to variant quality. Filter availability can vary depending on the selected variant categories. If filters are applied to more than one variant category in the same condition group, only filters relevant for all variant categories are available. For more information, refer to .

For more information, refer to Acronyms and Terms.
The same Population filter is used to filter CNVs and SVs. For these variant categories, the filter uses the aggregate population allele frequency as calculated by Connected Insights based on the data provided in the 1000 Genomes Project database. The aggregation addresses challenges from significant variability in the calling of CNV and SV boundaries and the need to consider frequency of variants with close boundaries in aggregation. For example, allele frequency of variants 1000–2000 CNV gain and 1005–2000 CNV gain are considered as a sum). Specifically:
We selected alleles with 300 samples or more given the population group in the 1000 Genomes Project.
We aggregated alleles based on their similarity defined by the reciprocal overlap being equal or exceeding 0.75.
We calculated the aggregate frequency as the sum of all allele frequencies of the similar CNVs per given population group.
❗ The population frequency filter is only selectable in a filter group with a single selected variant category, as the population frequencies are tied to specific variant categories. The filter is not available for RNA Splice Variants and RNA Fusion Variants.
❗ The population frequency for copy number variants and structural variants is not displayed for alleles found in fewer than 300 samples per given population group in the 1000 Genomes Project.
Connected Insights applies two levels of filtering. The first level is the condition group, which filters data by general information about the variants and is applied to all variants in the view. The second level includes other condition groups with more specific filtering criteria that are applied independently from other condition groups of the second-level filters.
❗ If you are building a filter that covers multiple variant categories, make sure that second level filters cover each of the variant categories that you intend to return with the filter. Including a variant category in the first level filter (eg, copy number variants) but omitting it in second-level filters (even if without filtering conditions) excludes this variant category from the filtering results. For example, filtering logic (Small Variants, CNVs, SVs) AND((Small Variants) OR (CNVs)) excludes SVs from the filtering results. Refer to the following filter examples for more details.
Use the Exclude selector for a given filter to exclude matching variants. The default filter behavior is to include variants.
The first-level condition group:
Does not specify any conditions for genes, thereby including into the filtering results variants from all genes.
Includes into the filtering results all variant categories that Connected Insights supports (for example, small variants SVs, CNVs, RNAsplice variants, and RNA fusions variants).
Sets a condition to include only variants that have PASS in the VCF variant filters, thus excluding all variants that do not have a PASSvalue.
The first-level condition group is connected to the second-level condition groups via operator AND.
The first of the second-level condition group specifies inclusion criteria for small variants to be returned in the filtering results. The condition group sets criteria to capture rare small variants with specific consequences that are of interest:
Variant category is set to Small Variant
Population frequency is specified as equal or less than 0.05 in five population groups in gnomAD
The Consequences filter lists categories of interest: Start Loss, Stop Gained, Stop Loss, and others
The small variants condition group is connected to other second-level condition groups via the operator OR.
The third second-level condition group provides inclusion criteria for RNA Splice Variants. Only PASS-ing (per first-level condition group) RNA Splice Variants with consequence Exon Loss Variant are included in the filtering results.
The next second-level condition group provides inclusion criteria for RNA Fusion Variants. This filtering logic only includes PASS-ing (per first level condition group) Unidirectional Gene Fusions in the filtering results.
The last second-level condition group lists structural variants and copy number variants as variant categories but does not provide any filtering condition. In the current version of Connected Insights, such condition group is required to include structural variants and copy number variants in the filtering results even though they are already specified in the first-level filter.
This page summarizes filters related to the functional impact of a variant. Filter availability can vary depending on the selected variant categories. If filters are applied to more than one variant category in the same condition group, only filters relevant for all variant categories are available. For more information,refer to Filter by Variant Category.
Filters by gnomAD constraint metrics: LOEUF, misZ, pLI, misZ, pLI, pNull, pRec, and synZ. For more information, refer to Acronyms and Terms.
Filters by the haploinsufficiency and triplosensitivity evidence classification. It represents the strength of evidence supporting a relationship between a gene and disease and whether loss (haploinsufficiency) or gain (triplosensitivity) of individual genes or genomic regions is a mechanism for disease(Riggs et al., Clin Genet. 81, 403–412 (2012)).
The evidence categories can be used for clinical interpretation of copy number variants using the categories recommended by ClinGen.

This page summarizes filters related to variant – disease and gene – disease associations. Filter availability can vary depending on the selected variant categories. If filters are applied to more than one variant category in the same condition group, only filters relevant for all variant categories are available. For more information, refer to Filter by Variant Category.
In addition to filtering by the gene list, variants can be filtered by genes based on their associations with diseases and phenotypes.
Select the genes filter.
In the displayed dialog box window, select the Include genes from the diseases checkbox.
Start typing a phenotype or disease to display a list of potential matches to add to the list.
The following tables detail the ontology sources that Connected Insights uses to determine relationships between genes and diseases.
Phenotype to gene search finds similar phenotypes and diseases across various ontology sources, independent of the underlying vocabulary in each source. If an equivalent concept does not exist across the sources, Connected Insights calculates the distance between nodes in the ontological hierarchies and assigns a score from 0 to 1, where:
Values closer to 0 indicate that the concepts are more equivalent. A value of 0 indicates that the concepts are the same.
Values closer to 1 indicate that the concepts are more dissimilar. A value of 1 indicates that the concepts can only be connected at the root node and are therefore excluded from query results.
The determination of distance accounts for the fact that sibling concepts on leaf nodes (eg, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and dilated cardiomyopathy) are more closely related to each other than siblings close to the root (eg, abnormal vascular morphology, and abnormal heart morphology).
Confidence scores for gene - disease associations are calculated using the following rules:
Expert-curated data from OMIM, HPO, Phenopedia, and ClinVar are assigned a high confidence score.
High, moderate, or low confidence scores are converted from GeL PanelApp strong, medium, and low scores, respectively.
GTR confidence scores are based on information content metrics, which measure the specificity of a genetic test for a particular phenotype and a gene.

This page summarizes filters related to variant details. Filter availability can vary depending on the selected variant categories. If filters are applied to more than one variant category in the same condition group, only filters relevant for all variant categories are available. For more information, refer to Filter by Variant Category.
Filters variants by Suspected Somatic or Predicted Germline origin.
You can select these options when creating or editing a variant filter by updating the Origin criterion. For example, if you do not want predicted germline variants, then add or update the Origin criterion to only include Suspected Somatic. For more information, refer to Variant Filters.
You can also add or edit a test definition to include either somatic or predicted germline variants through selecting the applicable variant filters in the Variant Filter(s) field. For more information, refer to .
For tumor-only analyses, when enabled in DRAGEN, variant origin is determined for small variants based on gnomAD allele counts.
Note: If no variants are tagged by DRAGEN as likely germline (such as when not enabled), variants will not be labeled with Suspected Somatic or Predicted Germline. It is recommended to Exclude Predicted Germline variants when avoiding interpretation of likely germline variants.
For tumor-normal analysis, variant origin is determined for by secondary analysis based on the presence of the SOMATIC tag in the INFO column of a variant call or based on the presence of read support for that variant in the normal sample:
Any variant call with a SOMATIC tag in the INFO column is determined to be Suspected Somatic regardless of read support
Otherwise, if the variant call has zero read support in the normal sample it is marked as Suspected Somatic
Otherwise, the variant is marked as Predicted Germline
Note: For copy number variants, the exact same copy number state does not need to present for a variant to be Predicted Germline (e.g. a variant that is copy neutral LOH in the tumor sample - CN = 2 and MCN = 0 - and copy gain in the normal sample - CN > 2).
Filters small variants by overlap with an LOH event when LOH data is provided.
Filters variants by genes. There are two ways to create gene lists in the filter.
Using a list of gene names. To create a gene list, type or paste gene names in the Additional Genes field.
Using gene-disease associations from several sources. For more information, refer to .
