Just updated this figure for 2025. There are now over 1 million missense Variants of Uncertain Significance in Clinvar!

Caroline Wright (Exeter) sharing fundamental knowledge

What does the "average" human genome look like?"

>900k 🧬 #UKB / #AllofUs

/ Genome:
1️⃣ ~4.4–5.5 million variants
2️⃣ 2–3 ClinVar P/LP (mostly AR)
3️⃣ ~62–70 de novo variants
4️⃣ ~1 in 5 people in top 1% of PRS for ≥1 disease

Cool update in Ensembl VEP (release 115):
You can now annotate structural variants with @gnomad-project.bsky.social allele frequencies AND ClinVar clinical significance

Perfect for filtering & interpreting SVs!

In summary, based on allele frequency mostly - we classify this as a benign variant. The ClinVar assertion should be up in coming days. Thanks to Alicia Byrne for help with this! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/vari...

The pathogenicity of DECIPHER and ClinVar variants are now displayed in bold on variant and protein variant pages to make it clearer if the variant has been classified as being pathogenic or benign
March 21, 2025 at 12:19 PM
DECIPHER and #clinvar variants with a predicted molecular consequence of splice_donor_region_variant and splice_polypyrimidine_tract_variant are now displayed on the protein browser. These are displayed as pink triangles.

Here's to Day 1 of #ASHG25:

Started the week before everyone arrived with the #UCSC Genome Browser Workshop exploring ClinVar–HGMD overlap, HGVS nomenclature, and variant visualization.

Excited to continue Day 2 of this workshop and dive deeper into #ASHG25 week of genomics exploration! 🌍🧬
