        "note": "ClinVar is NCBI's public archive of the relationships between human genetic variants and phenotypes, with the clinical significance of each variant. /v1/search?gene=BRCA1 = search ClinVar by gene symbol (gene=BRCA1) or by free text (q=…), returning the total hit count and a list of ClinVar variation ids; /v1/variant?id=4852102 = a variant's summary — its accession (VCV…), title, variant type, the variation/cDNA name, the clinical classification (Pathogenic, Likely pathogenic, Uncertain significance, Likely benign, Benign), the review status, the associated condition(s), the gene(s) and primary gene, chromosome and location, protein change and molecular consequence. Get a variation id from /v1/search. Data from NCBI ClinVar (public domain). This is clinical variant interpretation — distinct from population allele-frequency databases (gnomAD) and from protein/sequence databases. Ideal for clinical-genomics, variant-annotation and rare-disease tooling. Please keep request rates modest (NCBI fair use).",
