Gene filters

The Gene Filters allow filtering variants by specific genes or regions based on clinical relevance, functional significance, or enrichment kit.

  • Disease-associated genes: Genes with a published disease association.

  • Unknown genes: Genes of unknown clinical significance.



  • Cancer-associated genes: Genes that have a documented association with cancer.


  • LoF-intolerant genes: Extremely LoF-intolerant genes with gnomAD pLI ≥ 0.9.

    • If a variant is a CNV or insertion and overlaps multiple genes, it is included in the results as long as at least one of the overlapped genes has pLI ≥ 0.9.

    • mtDNA variants are excluded, because mitochondrial genes are not represented in the gnomAD pLI dataset.

    • Requires Knowledge base 26+.

  • Established HI/TS genes: Genes with ClinGen haploinsufficiency and/or triplosensitivity score of 3.

    • mtDNA variants are excluded, because mitochondrial genes are not represented in the ClinGen dosage sensitivity dataset.

    • Requires Knowledge base 26+.


  • Coding regions: Protein-coding sequences.

  • In targeted regions: Enrichment kit regions selected at case creation (falls back to RefSeq coding if no kit is provided).


  • Candidate genes: Gene list defined during case creation. The filter is not available in cases run without a gene list.
