ClinvarSomaticEvidenceLine

Trial Use

This data class is at a trial use maturity level and may change in future releases. Maturity levels are described in the GKS Maturity Model.

An evidence line for ClinVar somatic clinical impact (SCI) statements. Carries a target proposition (therapeutic response, diagnostic, or prognostic) and an evidence outcome reflecting the AMP/ASCO/CAP tiered classification. SCI statements use this evidence line to link the parent VariantClinicalSignificanceProposition to specific clinical assertion types.

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.
name string 0..1 A primary name for the entity.
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 A list of extensions to the Entity, that allow for capture of information not directly supported by elements defined in the model.
specifiedBy Method | iriReference 0..1 A specification that describes all or part of the process that led to creation of the Information Entity
contributions Contribution[] (ordered) 0..m Specific actions taken by an Agent toward the creation, modification, validation, or deprecation of an Information Entity.
reportedIn Document | iriReference[] (unordered) 0..m A document in which the the Information Entity is reported.
type string 0..1 MUST be "EvidenceLine".
targetProposition Proposition 0..1 The possible fact against which evidence items contained in an Evidence Line were collectively evaluated, in determining the overall strength and direction of support they provide. For example, in an ACMG Guideline-based assessment of variant pathogenicity, the support provided by distinct lines of evidence are assessed against a target proposition that the variant is pathogenic for a specific disease.
hasEvidenceItems StudyResult | Statement | EvidenceLine | iriReference[] (unordered) 0..m An individual piece of information that was evaluated as evidence in building the argument represented by an Evidence Line.
directionOfEvidenceProvided string 0..1 The direction of support that the Evidence Line is determined to provide toward its target Proposition (supports, disputes, neutral)
strengthOfEvidenceProvided MappableConcept 0..1 The strength of support that an Evidence Line is determined to provide for or against its target Proposition, evaluated relative to the direction indicated by the directionOfEvidenceProvided value.
scoreOfEvidenceProvided number 0..1 A quantitative score indicating the strength of support that an Evidence Line is determined to provide for or against its target Proposition, evaluated relative to the direction indicated by the directionOfEvidenceProvided value.
evidenceOutcome MappableConcept 0..1 The evidence level outcome for the somatic clinical impact assertion, based on the AMP/ASCO/CAP tiered evidence framework. Values reflect the tier mapping (e.g., "Level A/B" for Tier I, "Level C/D" for Tier II). Present only on somatic clinical impact evidence lines.
proposition VariantTherapeuticResponseProposition | VariantDiagnosticProposition | VariantPrognosticProposition | iriReference 0..1 The target proposition for this evidence line. For somatic clinical impact statements, this is one of the specific assertion type propositions: VariantTherapeuticResponseProposition (TR), VariantDiagnosticProposition (DIAG), or VariantPrognosticProposition (PROG).
