| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Gene ID | Ensembl stable identifier for affected gene |
| Gene symbol | Common name for gene, e.g., from HGNC |
| Transcript ID | Ensembl stable identifier for affected transcript |
| RefSeq ID | NCBI RefSeq identifier for affected transcript |
| CCDS ID | Consensus coding sequence (CCDS) identifier uniting Havana, Ensembl, and NCBI |
| Biotype | GENCODE biotype of affected transcript |
| cDNA coordinates | Coordinates of input variant in unprocessed cDNA |
| CDS coordinates | Coordinates of input variant in processed coding sequence (CDS) |
| Distance | Distance to transcript if variant falls outside transcript boundaries |
| Consequence type | SO consequence type of input variant allele on transcript |
| Exon | Number(s) of affected exon(s) |
| Intron | Number(s) of affected intron(s) |
| TSL | Transcript Support Level (TSL) highlights well-supported and poorly supported transcript models |
| APPRIS | Annotation principle splice isoforms (APPRIS) is a system to annotate alternatively spliced transcripts based on a range of computational methods, assigning primary and alternative statuses to transcripts |
| HGVS | HGVS notations for input variant relative to the coding sequence |
