摘要: Several knowledgebases, such as CIViC, CGI and OncoKB, have been manually curated to support clinical interpretations of somatic mutations copy number abnormalities (CNAs) in cancer. However, these resources focus on known hotspot mutations, discrepancies or even conflicting observed between knowledgebases. To standardize interpretation, AMP/ASCO/CAP/ACMG/CGC jointly published consensus guidelines for the CNAs 2017 2019, respectively. Based guidelines, we developed a standardized, semi-automated interpretation tool called CancerVar (Cancer Variants interpretation), with user-friendly web interface assess impacts variants. Using semi-supervised method, interpret cancer variants four tiers: strong significance, potential unknown benign/likely benign. also allows users specify criteria adjust scoring weights customized strategy, phenotype-driven specific types Importantly, generates automated texts summarize evidence variants, which greatly reduces manual workload write that include relevant information from harmonized can be accessed at http://cancervar.wglab.org it is open all without login requirements.
