+Interpretation of Variants in Cancer) database</a>. These clinically
 relevant variant interpretations are expert- and crowd-sourced from
 peer-revied literature, clinical trials, and some conference
 abstracts.
 
 <p>
 Each variant's interpretation is in the context of a broder molecular
 profile: one or more variants grouped together. For example, clinical
 evidence may be relevant to a KRAS G12 mutation on its own, but other
 clinical evidence may relevant for cases with either a mutation in
 KRAS G12 or G13.
 
 <p>
 The primary points of data from the scientific literature are curated
 as Clinical Evidence, which connects to a molecular profile, which in
 turn connects to the variants shown in this track. Groups of evidence
 can become curator Assertions about the relevence of a molecular
 profile.

 The detail for a feature will list diseases and therapies that have
 been associated with a genomic variant. Visiting the CIViC page for a
 variant will allow browsing the Molecular Profiles associated with
 that variant, and in turn each Molecular Profile shows the Clinical

 <h2>Display Conventions and Configuration</h2>
 
 <p>
 There are three types of variant feature types in CIViC: gene, fusion, and
 factor, of which only the gene and fusion fetaures have a genomic location.
 
 <p>
 Gene variants are shown as a single item, with a name indicating the
 variant's mode: sequence change, gene expression, gene deletion,
 etc.
 
 <p>
 Fusion variants connect two genes via a structural DNA rearrangement,

 be annotated as a thin bar on the feature.
 
 <h2>Data updates</h2>

 This track reflects the monthly data summaries published by CIViC. The
 latest information is always available directly on the CIViC website
 or by its API.

 <h2>Methods</h2>
 
 <p>
 The monthly CIViC Variant Summaries were reformatted at UCSC
 to <a href="../goldenPath/help/bigBed.html">bigBed</a> format. The
 data is updated every month, the week after CIViC data summary
 release. The diseases and therapies associated with a variant are
 collected from the corresponding TSV files from CIViC, using the
 molecular profile summaries as a mapping.
