Description

-The -Genomics England PanelApp -tracks show gene panels that are related to human disorders. Originally developed to -aid interpretation of participant genomes in the -100,000 Genomes Project, PanelApp is now also being used as the platform for -achieving consensus on gene panels in the - -NHS Genomic Medicine Service (GMS). -As panels in PanelApp are publicly available, they can also be used by other groups -and projects. Panels are maintained and updated by -Genomics England curators. +The PanelApp tracks show regions that are related to human disorders. These can be either +genes, short tandem repeats or copy number variants. The regions were curated by groups of +specialists collaborating using the PanelApp web tool. The primary website is Genomics England PanelApp. +Another deployment of the website, with different data, is +PanelApp Australia. +

+Originally, PanelApp was developed to aid interpretation of participant genomes in the + +100,000 Genomes Project, +Genomics England PanelApp now being used as the platform for +achieving consensus on gene panels in the NHS + Genomic Medicine Service (GMS). Later, the same platform was also deployed by +Australian + Genomics. +

Genes and genomic -entities (short tandem repeats/STRs and copy number variants/CNVs) +entities, so short tandem repeats/STRs and copy number variants/CNVs, have been reviewed by experts to enable a community consensus to be reached on which genes and genomic entities should appear on a diagnostics grade panel for each disorder. A rating system (confidence level 0 - 3) is used to classify the level of evidence supporting association with phenotypes covered by the gene panel in question.

-The available data tracks are: -

+There are six subtracks in total: Three different types (genes, STRs and CNVs) and these +three exist for both countries, England and Australia. The three types of tracks are:

- Genomics England PanelApp Genes (PanelApp Genes): + PanelApp Genes (PanelApp Genes):
shows genes with evidence supporting a gene-disease relationship.
NOTE: Due to a bug in the PanelApp gene API, between 5 and 20% of gene entries are missing as of 11/2/22.

- Genomics England PanelApp STRs (PanelApp STRs): + PanelApp STRs (PanelApp STRs):
shows short tandem repeats that can be disease-causing when a particular number of repeats is present.

- Only on hg38: Genomics England PanelApp Regions (PanelApp CNV Regions): + Only on hg38: PanelApp Regions (PanelApp CNV Regions):
shows copy-number variants (region-loss and region-gain) with evidence supporting a gene-disease relationship.

Display Conventions

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 for this gene-disease association. This gene should not be used for genomic interpretation.

Updates and archiving of old releases

This track is updated automatically every week. If you need to access older releases of the data, you can download them from our archive directory on the download server. To load them into the browser, select a week on the archive directory, copy the link to a file, go to My Data > Custom Tracks, click "Add custom track", paste the link into the box and click "Submit".

Methods

PanelApp files were reformatted at UCSC to the bigBed format. The script that updates the track is called updatePanelApp and can be found in our Github repository.
