There's this paragraph, which is currently part of "What is BRCA Exchange?"
"There are two data views used by BRCA Exchange to aid researchers and clinicians who work with BRCA1 and BRCA2. The Summary View of BRCA Exchange will only display variant aliases, ENIGMA variant interpretations, and a brief interpretation history. The ENIGMA Consortium assesses variant pathogenicity using an expertly developed set of BRCA1 and BRCA2 classification criteria. The Detail View contains all publicly available data on a variant. Thus, this view of the data provides a more complete, but also more complicated, characterization of a variant. Using multiple large-scale sources and two different portals, BRCA Exchange serves as a contextualized resource for curation of BRCA variant data."
@amy Coffin As I read this paragraph, I notice some things that seem out of date. In "The Detail View contains all publicly available data on a variant.", what about "additional" rather than "all"? It's a tall order to say that we have all the public data on a variant. Additionally, the Detail View contains more than additional public data, it also contains computed data (such as the priors) plus links to external resources (such as MuPIT and Beacon). Perhaps one could say that it provides additional public data, and resources to provide insights on the functional or clinical impact of the variant?
