VCFVariant Call Format. Here, ClinVar GRCh38 VCF rows are public variant records, not a patient cohort.
ClinVar P/LP recordA ClinVar record annotated as pathogenic or likely pathogenic in the primary analysis.
MANE SelectThe representative transcript anchor used to place records onto a transcript model.
GENCODEThe transcript-structure annotation used for exon, CDS, and UTR intervals.
Transcript unitA single-exon, adjacent exon-block, or downstream-CDS replacement hypothesis.
ClinVar record coveragek/N for a unit: addressed P/LP records divided by total gene-level P/LP records.
Donor payloadThe sequence length the donor would need to carry for the transcript-unit hypothesis.
Low-record-burdenA gene with fewer than 20 ClinVar P/LP records; computed but interpretation-limited.
