Using ClinVar to Share Germline and Somatic Variant Classifications from Clinical Genomic Testing

Learn how genetic testing laboratories can benefit from sharing variant classifications through ClinVar in this 59-minute webinar presented by the Cancer Genomics Consortium. Explore the evolution of ClinVar from its 2013 introduction for sharing germline variant classifications in monogenic disorders to its January 2024 expansion that now accepts somatic variant classifications for cancer, including oncogenicity and clinical impact assessments. Join Dr. Melissa J. Landrum and Dr. Sharon E. Plon as they demonstrate the advantages of variant classification sharing for both germline testing and cancer testing laboratories, providing practical insights into leveraging ClinVar's expanded capabilities for improved clinical genomic testing outcomes.
