pathogenic variant
Definition
A genetic mutation that directly causes or significantly increases susceptibility to a genetic disease. Pathogenic variants are classified using ACMG/AMP criteria based on population frequency, functional data, segregation analysis, computational predictions, and clinical observations. ClinVar maintains a public archive of variant pathogenicity assessments.
In Practice
pathogenic variant is widely used in genetics & genomics and related fields. Key applications include:
- Research and experimental design in molecular biology laboratories
- Clinical diagnostics and therapeutic development pipelines
- Automated validation within VigyanLLM's 24-step primer design and analysis framework
