ClinvarGeneContextQualifier

Trial Use

May change in future releases. See the GKM Maturity Model.

The gene context qualifier on a ClinVar SCV proposition: a gene MappableConcept. When it carries a 'geneContextSource' extension, that extension's value MUST be one of the four values defined by ExtensionGeneContextSource. Other extensions (e.g. 'submittedGeneSymbols') are not constrained here.

JSON Schema: ClinvarGeneContextQualifier

Some ClinvarGeneContextQualifier attributes are inherited from MappableConcept.

Information Model

Field Type Limits Description
id string 0..1 The 'logical' identifier of the Entity in the system of record, e.g. a UUID. This 'id' is unique within a given system, but may or may not be globally unique outside the system. It is used within a system to reference an object from another.
type string 0..1 MUST be "MappableConcept".
name string 0..1 A primary name for the concept.
description string 0..1 A free-text description of the Entity.
aliases string[] (unordered) 0..m Alternative name(s) for the Entity.
extensions Extension[] (unordered) 0..m Extensions on the qualifier. An item named 'geneContextSource' must match ExtensionGeneContextSource.
conceptType string 0..1 A term indicating the type of concept being represented by the MappableConcept.
primaryCoding Coding 0..1 A primary coding for the concept.
mappings ConceptMapping[] (unordered) 0..m A list of mappings to concepts in terminologies or code systems. Each mapping should include a coding and a relation.

Extensions

These extensions are defined for ClinvarGeneContextQualifier.

ExtensionGeneContextSource

Where the gene on a SCV proposition's geneContextQualifier came from, compared with the gene symbols the submitter gave.

Field Type Limits Description
name string 0..1 Must be 'geneContextSource'.
value string 0..1 submittedSymbolMatches: the submitter's symbols include the qualifier's symbol. submittedSymbolDiffers: the submitter gave symbols, but none equals the qualifier's symbol (most are previous symbols of the same gene). inferredFromVariant: the submitter gave no symbols. submittedNotNormalized: the variant has no single representative gene, so the qualifier is a placeholder named with the submitter's symbol(s). Symbols are compared trimmed and case-insensitively.
