Please note that a short description of a certain column can be displayed when you move your mouse cursor over the column's header and hold it still. Below, a more detailed description is shown per column.

Affects function: The variant's effect on the protein's function, in the format 'R/C' where R is the value reported by the source and C is the value concluded by the curator; '+' indicating the variant affects function, '+?' probably affects function, '+*' affects function, not associated with individual's disease phenotype, '#' affects function, not associated with any known disease phenotype, '-' does not affect function, '-?' probably does not affect function, '?' effect unknown, '.' effect not classified.

DNA change (cDNA): Description of variant at DNA level, based on a coding DNA reference sequence (following HGVS recommendations); e.g. c.123C>T, c.123_145del, c.123_126dup.

Protein: Description of variant at protein level (following HGVS recommendations).

• p.(Arg345Pro) = change predicted from DNA (RNA not analysed)
• p.Arg345Pro = change derived from RNA analysis
• p.? = unknown effect
• p.0? = probably no protein produced

GVS function: The functional annotation of this position from the Genome Variation Server.
All options:

• intergenic
• near-gene-5
• utr-5
• coding
• coding-near-splice
• coding-synonymous
• coding-synonymous-near-splice
• codingComplex
• codingComplex-near-splice
• frameshift
• frameshift-near-splice
• missense
• missense-near-splice
• splice-5
• intron
• splice-3
• stop-gained
• stop-gained-near-splice
• stop-lost
• stop-lost-near-splice
• utr-3
• near-gene-3

Position: Position of variant in coding DNA sequence; note that coding DNA position can also be derived from the variant description.

Exon: Number of exon/intron containing variant; 2 = exon 2, 12i = intron 12, 2i_7i = exons 3 to 7, 8i_9 = border intron 8/exon 9.

PolyPhen: Effect of variant, predicted by PolyPhen.
All options:

• benign = Benign
• possiblyDamaging = Possibly damaging
• probablyDamaging = Probably damaging
• noPrediction = No prediction

RNA change: Description of variant at RNA level (following HGVS recommendations).

• r.123c>u
• r.? = unknown
• r.(?) = RNA not analysed but probably transcribed copy of DNA variant
• r.spl? = RNA not analysed but variant probably affects splicing
• r.(spl?) = RNA not analysed but variant may affect splicing
• r.0? = change expected to abolish transcription
