Display Conventions
There are a few differences between the Genomics England and the Australian Genomics tracks:
Genomics England
- By default, only items with a version greater than or equal to 1 are displayed. This
can be changed in the track configuration menu.
Australian Genomics
-- For the PanelApp Genes track, only items from the Mendeliome and Incidentalome
-panels are in the track.
+- For the PanelApp Genes track, only items from the Mendeliome and
+Incidentalome panels are included. The sum total of these two panels represents all the
+gene-disease relationships available on the platform and provides an overarching assessment of the
+association between each gene and disease(s). Pulling information from other panels can be
+confusing, as the same gene may have different ratings across different panels.
+
- By default, all versions are displayed (versions greater than 0). This
can be changed in the track configuration menu.
The individual tracks are colored by confidence level:
- Score 3 (lime green) - High level of evidence
for this gene-disease association. Demonstrates confidence that this gene should be
used for genome interpretation.
- Score 2 (amber) - Moderate evidence
for this gene-disease association. This gene should not be used for genomic
interpretation.
- Score 0 or 1 (red) - Not enough evidence
