  • A gene description summarizes gene function and its association with diseases.

  • It provides context for variant interpretation and often appears before the variant summary in reports.

  • Users can create gene descriptions separately from variants in their knowledge base.

Creating Gene Descriptions

  • Users can create gene descriptions from scratch or based on external knowledge bases.

  • These descriptions automatically apply to all variants within a gene.

  • Collaborative editing and approval processes are available. See for more details.

To create from scratch:

  • Go to the Biomarker Details page.

  • Click Create New Assertion.

  • In the Gene Description tab, specify the gene role (e.g., Oncogene or Tumor Suppressor), provide a summary, and set the approval status.

  • Curating gene roles helps with variant interpretation (i.e., providing input for oncogenicity prediction).

From an external knowledge base:

  • Navigate to the Biomarker Details page.

  • Choose a gene description from an external knowledge base (e.g., CKB).

  • Select Copy to new assertion in the menu next to "Report".

  • Edit the fields as needed.
