Suggestion: Genespecific criteria for classification of variants with ClinGen guidelines #4048

When classifying variants in Scout the criteria are the same for all genes (but you can modify the strength of each criteria). ClinGen are publishing more and more gene-specific interpretations of the criteria (Specifications to the ACMG/AMP Variant Interpretation Guidelines), i.e. which criterion may or may not be used and what weight a certain criterion should have for a specific gene: https://cspec.genome.network/cspec/ui/svi/ There are also json files on the website with specifications for the criteria, if they are applicable, etc, here is an example for BRCA1: https://cspec.genome.network/cspec/api/SequenceVariantInterpretation/id/GN092. It would be useful if you only see the criteria that can be used for a certain gene according to ClinGen when you classify in Scout.

Hi Maria! Thank you, that is a great future suggestion, and very cool to see the JSONs - Ive only seen their text descriptions before! Unfortunately there are only a few genes listed as of now, but the number will surely grow.
