Genetic variant databases

Database of Genomic Variants

MitoDB

Clinvar - Public variant database with independently submitted laboratory interpretations of pathogenicity

Interpretation of biochemical tests

https://hmdb.ca/ - Metabolome data listing conditions under which each metabolite is expressed

IEM Base - Allows the search for inborn errors of metabolism described by metabolites or signs and symptoms

Prenatal genetic counseling

Gregg, 2021 - ACMG recommendations for screening for autosomal recessive and X-linked conditions

Grody, 2013 - ACMG Recommendations for Assessing Prenatal/Preconception Carrier Status

Prior, 2008 - ACMG recommendations for assessing carrier status for spinal muscular atrophy

Resources for variant interpretation

Varsome - Facilitates classification by ACMG criteria. It accepts .vcf and .fastq files only in the paid version.

Franklin - Facilitates classification by ACMG criteria. It accepts both variants and .vcf files.

Genetic Variant Interpretation Tool - ACMG criteria checklist

Mutalyzer - Allows you to check the variant nomenclature

Uniprot - Allows evaluation of the domain in which the variant occurs

ProteinPaint - Facilitates visualization of hotspots in the gene
