I am facing the same issue
The CharGer needs more annotations like Clinvar and known pathogenic variant list, etc. Check this comment https://github.com/ding-lab/CharGer/issues/18#issuecomment-475979810 from @fernanda-rodrigues
Hello @LayalYasin and @nrosewick ,
Thank you for using our tool!! As you can see in the warnings that pop up, in order for CharGer to best classify your variants, you must give it a little more information (as mentioned in comment #18). The more information you give, the better your classifications will be.
For PVS1, for example, according to the ACMG guidelines; variants will fall in this category if they are "null variants (nonsense, frameshift, canonical ±1 or 2 splice sites, initiation codon, single or multiexon deletion) in a gene where LOF is a known mechanism of disease). So if you don't specify that, CharGer won't know. If you have a list of genes specific to your disease that fall into this category, please provide that as a list. If you don't mind me asking, which disease are you dealing with here? We do have such list for cancer studies.
Also, ClinVar information is crucial. That can really boost your analysis. You can find the ClinVar file we use internally here: https://github.com/fernanda-rodrigues/ClinVar/blob/20190815_release/output/b38/single/clinvar_alleles.single.b38.tsv.gz
This file has been generated based on MacArthur lab codes and refers to ClinVar release from 08/15/2019.
The formats of the PVS1, PP2 and BP2 files are described in our README.
Please do not hesitate to ask for help. I am happy to assist you!

Thanks!
Hello,
I tried to use CharGer on a WES vcf file processed with GATK 4.1.1.0 from hg38 bam files and annotate wih VEP 95. VCF contains 547 samples. Looking a the results all variant are classified as "Uncertain"
Looking in the log file I can see that some warnings pop out :
Is is expected to have either
Benign
orUncertain Significance
variants ? Do you have maybe an (unannotated) test VCF (in hg38) with variants to should be annotated as pathogenic in order for me to test my config.Thanks
The log file :
