Hi @LenkaSeg,
Thank you for this report. Unfortunately, we do not support HGVS in this format as it is missing a variant descriptor (i.e. :p.
, :g.
or :c.
). Additionally, we do not recommend using gene symbols as the reference sequence, as this gives ambiguity for which transcript or translation is intended.
If you use the associated Ensembl protein identifier instead, and add the variant descriptor (e.g. ENSP00000270202.4:p.Asp46His), then VEP should annotate your variants correctly. As an aside, VEP will only be able to provide annotations with HGVSp input if there is an unambiguous way to change from reference to alternate amino acid at the genomic level.
Kind Regards, Andrew
Oh, sorry, I made a mistake, the variant descriptor was actually part of the input.
example: AKT1:p.Asp46Glu
Thank you! I will use the protein identifier. I had noticed that no example using gene symbol was given in the input documentation, but it seemed to work fine and without delay in the web interface, so I tried to use it in the command line too.
Would you like me to make a pull request for the input documentation with this example and your explanation? Maybe it would help others too. Another thing that might be useful is to present a warning in stderr when the --verbose flag is enabled.
Thank you very much for your reply and help!
Hi,
I'm going to close this issue now. If you have any further questions, please feel free to reopen it or create a new issue.
Kind Regards, Andrew
Describe the issue
When running VEP this message appears:
Use of uninitialized value in subtraction (-) at /opt/vep/src/ensembl-vep/Bio/EnsEMBL/TranscriptMapper.pm line 384, <__ANONIO__> line 1.
The output is fine.
Additional information
Happens only for the hgvs form of input: example: AKT1:Asp46Glu
There was some remotely similar issue here #636 I tried everything mentioned there, including the upgrading the tabix, but it didn't help.
System

They include:
