 The available data tracks are:
 <ul>
 <li><b>ClinGen Dosage Sensitivity Map -Haploinsufficiency (ClinGen 
 Haploinsufficiency) and -Triplosensitivity (ClinGen Triplosensitivity)</b> -
 Shows evidence supporting or refuting haploinsufficiency (loss) and triplosensitivity (gain) as 
 mechanisms for disease at gene-level and larger genomic regions.
 </li>
 <li><b>ClinGen Gene-Disease Validity Classification (ClinGen Validity)</b> -
 Provides a semi-qualitative measurement for the strength of evidence of a gene-disease relationship. 
 </li>
+<li><b>Clingen CSPEC variant interpretation VCEP specifications</b> -
+Identifies loci that have <a target="_blank"

+information. This is used and 
+applied by ClinGen Variant Curation Expert Panels (VCEPs) and biocurators in the classification of variants.
 </ul>
 </p>
 <p>
 A <b>rating system</b> is used to classify the <b>evidence</b> supporting or refuting dosage
  sensitivity for individual genes and regions, which takes in consideration the following criteria:
 number of causative variants reported, patterns of inheritance, consistency of phenotype, evidence
 from large-scale case-control studies, mutational mechanisms, data from public genome variation 
 databases, and expert consensus opinion.
 </p>
 <p>
 The system is intended to be of a &quot;dynamic nature&quot;, with regions being reevaluated periodically to 
 incorporate emerging evidence. The evidence collected is displayed within a publicly available 
 <a target="_blank" href="https://dosage.clinicalgenome.org/index.shtml">database</a>. 
 Evidence that haploinsufficiency or triplosensitivity of a gene is associated with a specific 
 phenotype will aid in the interpretive assessment of CNVs including that gene or genomic region.

 <P>
 The version of the <b>ClinGen Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)</b> that each gene-disease 
 classification was performed with is provided as well. An older or newer SOP version does not 
 necessarily mean the classification is any more or less valid but is provided for clarity. 
 Each details page also contains a direct link to an evidence summary detailing the rationale behind
 the specific classification and information such as a breakdown of the semi-qualitative framework, 
 relevant PubMed IDs, the type of data (Genetic vs Experimental Evidence), and a detailed summary.

 <h2>Data Updates</h2>
 Our programs check every day if ClinGen has an updated data file, and if so, update the track with the latest file.
