GeT-RM/ClinGen Expert curated variant listexternal icon GeT-RM partnered with ClinGen (ClinGenexternal icon) to develop a publicly available list of expert curated, clinically important variants to serve as a resource for designing comprehensive validation studies and for creating in silico reference materials for clinical genomic test development and validation. (J Mol Diag 2021 23:1501-1506external icon) ClinGen Variant Curation Expert Panels nominated 546 pathogenic and difficult to detect variants (link to table of variantsexcel icon) in 84 disease-associated genes (link to table of genesword icon).
