Welcome to auto-acmg#

Auto-acmg is a comprehensive software suite designed for the automatic prediction of ACMG (American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics) criteria for the evaluation of sequence variants and copy number variations (CNVs) in genetic data. Its primary function is to assist geneticists and researchers by providing a systematic approach to classify genetic variants according to established guidelines. More information to the guidelines can be found at the ACMG Sequence Variant Criteria and AMCG Sequence Variant Details sections.

Key Features#

  • Variant Classification: Auto-acmg classifies single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and CNVs based

    on ACMG guidelines, enhancing the accuracy and consistency of genetic interpretations.

  • Implementation of ACMG Criteria: It supports a range of criteria including PVS1, PS1, PM1,

    PM2, PM4, PM5, PP2, PP3, BA1, BS1, BS2, BP1, BP3, BP4 and BP7, allowing users to assess the pathogenicity of variants in a comprehensive manner.

  • VCEP Specifications: The software is designed to adhere to Variant Curation Expert Panel

    (VCEP) specifications, ensuring that each prediction is tailored to the specific genes and conditions studied by expert panels.

  • Extensible and Adaptable: Auto-acmg can be customized and extended to accommodate new criteria

    and guidelines as genetic science evolves.
