CaseLog
CaseLog stores all variants generated from a sequencing run, with clinical attributes and phenotypes for each sample. Use CaseLog to compare statistics on samples with similar phenotypes.
Access CaseLog from links on the Variant Details tab, Gene Details tab, or CaseLog tab.
For information about adding data to CaseLog, see Add Case Data to CaseLog.
Details about the gene and variant are listed in the following tabs:
|
•
|
Gene—Displays genomic variants, based on the studies considered, and includes links to external resource entries about the gene. |
|
•
|
Variant—Lists variant details and study information. |
|
•
|
Expression—Displays the gene expression across tissues. |
Gene Tab
The gene results tab displays a needle plot summary of all observed coding and splice variants for the gene. The protein sequence is plotted on the x-axis, with solid color bars representing the protein domain.
Legends and Filters
The filter labels list the studies and phenotypes where the variant is observed. Select one or more labels to view only results that match the label.
Show or hide variant types using the show/hide color legend.
Needle Plot
The needle plot contains the following sections:
|
•
|
Allele Frequency—Allele frequencies of the observed variants. |
|
•
|
A triangle marks the location of a specific variant. The marker appears when the Gene tab is opened from variant search results, or you can set a marker by clicking on the respective needle. |
|
•
|
Needle height represents population frequency in the underlying cohort. Longer needles represent frequent variants. |
|
•
|
Needle lines represent the data set the variant was found in. Solid lines represent data in your cohort and dashed lines represent variants in partner data sets. |
|
•
|
Solid color bars on the x-axis represent the protein domain. |
|
•
|
A tooltip contains details about the variant. |
|
•
|
PrimateAI—Scores for potential missense variants that results from an SNV, based on common polymorphisms observed in other species of primates. The reported score is the average of all raw scores for variants at the same genomic location. |
|
•
|
Dotted lines represent the 75th and 25th percentile of scores. |
|
•
|
Points above the 75th percentile are considered likely pathogenic and points below the 25th percentile are considered likely benign. |
|
•
|
Pathogenic variants—Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants from your Knowledge Network database (represented by circles) or the ClinVar database (represented by triangles), color-coded by variant type. A tooltip contains variant details and a link to the ClinVar entry for the variant. |
|
•
|
Exons—Exon boundaries and amino acid positions. To change the current zoom, drag the sliders on the left and right of the plot. |
Data Tables
Data tables list the results of genetic burden tests and an overview of all observed variants.
|
•
|
Genetic burden test using de novo variants only—Compares the expected to the observed de novo mutation rate in a given gene for each phenotype, using data from all studies available. |
|
•
|
Genetic burden test using all rare damaging variants rates—Compares expected to observed ratios of rare damaging variants and rare synonymous variants. TruSight Software considers the following variant types to be rare and damaging: |
|
•
|
Variants with frequency < 0.1%. |
|
•
|
All nonsense (stop-gained) and frameshift variants. |
|
•
|
Missense variants with Primate AI scores above 75th percentile for the given gene. |
|
•
|
Slice-site and intronic variants with Splice AI score > 0.2. |
|
•
|
List of variants—Overview of all variants observed in the gene, including variants in non-coding regions. Includes CDS and protein changes if applicable, and the study the variant was observed in. |

Variant Tab
The variant tab contains summary data tables for the variant.
|
•
|
Genes—Details about the variant and affected genes. |
|
•
|
Allele frequency—Frequency of alleles observed at the same site. |
|

|
Genotype frequency—Frequency of genotypes observed at the same site. |
|
•
|
Genetic burden test using the selected de novo variant only—Comparison of the expected to observed de novo mutation rate. |
|
•
|
List of samples—Other samples carrying the selected variant. To download the list, select Export to CSV. |
Expression Tab
The gene expression histogram graph shows the transcripts per million (TPM) for each tissue type. A tooltip displays additional information and a link to the corresponding gene page in the GTEx database.
Advanced Search Settings
Advanced search settings configure sample type, genome build, and search scope.
|
•
|
Sample classification—The sample type, Tumor or Normal. The default option is Normal. |
|
•
|
Genome build—The genome build, hg38/GRCh38 or hg19/GRCh37. The default option is hg38/GRCh38. |
|
•
|
Federate results—The range of data sets to include in search. Selecting this option expands search to include additional curated de novo cohorts. |
