Until October 2017, all variants with the ClinVar types <em>copy number gain/loss</em> and <em>DbVar "nsv" accessions</em> were assigned in the CNV category. Because the ClinVar type no longer captures this information, any variation equal to or larger than 50 bp is now considered a CNV. </p> <p> +The <b>ClinVar Interpretations track</b> displays the genomic positions of individual variant +submissions and interpretations of the clinical significance and their relationship to disease in +the ClinVar database. +</p> + +<p> <b>Note:</b> The data in the track are obtained directly from ClinVar's FTP site. We display the data obtained from ClinVar as-is to avoid discrepancies between UCSC and NCBI. However, be aware that the ClinVar conventions are different from the VCF standard.
