Interpret consequence labels (CSQN)

Wanding Zhou edited this page Mar 10, 2016 · 5 revisions

For each genetic variant, TransVar assigns a consequence label with CSQN tag. The consequence label sometimes explains the behaviour of the output, e.g., the missing of protein level representation due to the loss of splice site.

The consequence label is in the following alphabet:

label interpretation
Synonymous Variation in protein-coding sequence results in the same protein sequence
Missense Single or multiple amino acid substitution to protein-coding gene (1 to 1)
MultiAAMissense In-frame multiple amino acid replacement (m to n, either m>1 or n>1)
Nonsense Introduction of stop codon by single, multiple amino acid substitution or in-frame insertions/deletions
--- Coding Start/Stop --- -----
CdsStartLoss Loss of coding start
CdsStopLoss Loss of coding stop
--- Coding Insertion/Deletion --- -----
Frameshift Frameshift mutation to a protein-coding gene
InFrameDeletion In-frame deletion to a protein-coding gene
InFrameInsertion In-frame insertion to a protein-coding gene
--- Intronic --- -----
IntronicSNV Intronic single nucleotide variation
IntronicDeletion Intronic deletion
IntronicInsertion Intronic insertion
IntronicBlockSubstitution Intronic block substitution
--- Intergenic --- -----
IntergenicSNV Intergenic single nucleotide variation
IntergenicDeletion Intergenic deletion
IntergenicInsertion Intergenic insertion
IntergenicBlockSubstitution Intergenic block substitution
--- Splice site --- -----
SpliceDonorDeletion Deletion occurs to splice donor
SpliceAcceptorDeletion Deletion occurs to splice acceptor
SpliceDonorSNV Single-nucleotide variation at splice donor
SpliceAcceptorSNV Single-nucleotide variation at splice acceptor
SpliceDonorBlockSubstitution Block substitution occurs at splice donor
SpliceAcceptorBlockSubstitution Block substitution occurs at splice acceptor
SpliceDonorInsertion Insertion at splice donor
SpliceAcceptorInsertion Insertion at splice acceptor
--- Others --- -----
Unclassified Unclassified due to mostly mal-formated input
