Evaluating the Impact of ClinGen Variant Curation Expert Panel Criteria Specifications on Variant Interpretation across Multiple Genes

Gene-specific variant interpretation guidelines are constantly being published to refine variant classification. The development, implementation, and benefit of such guidelines require careful assessment. This study evaluates the utility of these guidelines on variant interpretation. All actionable genes listed in American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics-Secondary findings version 3.3 genes with available Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen) Variant Curation Expert Panel criteria specifications were analyzed.
