## Description

This annotation consolidates mutations from locus-specific databases and a genome-wide mutation database into a single track. The prototype version includes entries from the few locus-specific databases listed in the Methods section below.

## Display Conventions and Configuration

This track is color-coded by the mutation type, the default colors are:

- substitution = purple
- insertion = green
- duplication = orange
- deletion = blue
- complex = brown
- unknown = black

The color choices can be changed using the popup menus on the description page.

By default items are labeled with the Human Genome Variation Society (HGVS) name. Alternatively, you may configure the browser to display the common name, the feature ID, or no label by changing which label option is selected at the top of the description page.

All mutation types, locations and data sources are included in the default display. To filter the display based on one or more of these characteristics, check the appropriate boxes in the exclusion lists at the top of the description page.

## Methods

The data shown in this track were obtained from the following variant sources:

- HbVar database - variants and thalassemia mutations in the globin loci.
- PAHdb - mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene.
- Blood Group Antigen Gene Mutation Database (BGMUT) - mutations in many genes.
- Androgen Receptor Gene Mutations Database (ARdb) - mutations in the AR gene.
- Cystic Fibrosis Mutation Database (CFMDB) - mutations in the CFTR gene.
- UniProt (Swiss-Prot/TrEMBL) - genome-wide data on variants within coding regions.
