Editing an existing case

If you need to update your case details, adjust phenotypes, change the gene list, or customize disease information for reporting, Emedgene allows you to edit an existing case directly from the interface. Depending on what you modify, some edits may prompt reanalysis, while others will simply be saved without triggering a new run.

How to edit case data:

  1. Open a case you wish to edit,

  2. Click the Edit Case Info button in the top right corner.

  3. This will open the Add new case flow where you can modify fields across the following sections:

    1. Family Tree

    2. Select Gene List

    3. Select Preset

    4. Additional Case Info (in the Case Info Screen)

  1. After you've finished editing the case and pressed Next in the Case info screen, a window will pop up:

What happens during reanalysis

When you confirm reanalysis:

  • Case status changes to Reanalysis.

  • AI Shortlist is recalculated with updated data.

  • Variant-level evidence from the first run is cleared, except for user-tagged variants.

Preserved for user-tagged variants:

  1. Tag value

  2. Variant interpretation notes

  3. Pathogenicity

  4. Selected transcript

  5. ACMG tags and notes

  6. Sanger and Sanger notes

At the case level, any selected Presets remain saved.

Save without reanalysis

If you choose Save instead of Reanalyze:

  • Your edits are stored without rerunning the analysis.

  • Note: If you change proband phenotypes, Phenomatch filter results may still shift.

  • The right-hand Case Details panel will remind you that reanalysis is recommended.
