Active as of 2023-12-18 Computable Name: FindPopulationStructuralIntersectingVariants

Retrieve count or list of patients having structural intersecting variants in specified regions.

Description

Retrieve count or list of patients having structural intersecting variants in specified regions. (See section 'Genes vs. Regions' for the distinction between variants that 'intersect' vs. 'subsume' a region).

A patient meets numerator criteria if they have at least one structural variant intersecting a given range.

Population queries are designed to return a count of patients that match each item sought, with or without a list of patients matching the item(s) sought.

Parameters

UseNameScopeCardinalityTypeBindingDocumentation
INranges1..*string
(special)

List of regions to be searched for variants. Must be in zero-based RefSeq:Integer-range format (e.g. 'NC_000007.14:55174721-55174820').

INgenomicSourceClass0..1string
(token)

Enables an App to limit results to those that are 'germline' or 'somatic'. Default is to include variants irrespective of genomic source class.

INincludePatientList0..1boolean

Include list of matching patients if set to true. Default=false.

OUTvariants1..*
OUTvariants.rangeItem1..1string

range from rangeList

OUTvariants.numerator1..1Quantity

Count of patients having this variant

OUTvariants.denominator0..1Quantity

Count of patients in the cohort searched

OUTvariants.subject0..*string

Patient ID. Include if includePatientList=true

Examples

A researcher has developed a new drug, designed for cancer patients with large deletions involving all or part of BRCA1 (NC_000017.11:43044294-43125364) or BRCA2 (NC_000013.11:32315507-32400268), and wants a list of potential clinical trial participants.
