Overview of the Variant Tab
The Variant tab displays detailed information for a selected variant. To open the Variant tab, do one of the following:
• Double-click a variant on the Variants sub-tab on the Patient tab.
• Double-click a variant on the Variant sub-tab on the Panel Statistics tab.
• Right-click a variant on the Sample Variant Data sub-tab on the Sample tab, and on the context menu that opens, select Variant Details.
• Double-click a variant on the Sample Variant Data sub-tab on the Sample tab.
The Variant tab has two types of panes: variant information panes, which display user-specified information for a variant such as its pathogenicity, any comments, its artifact type, and so on, and reference information panes, which display information about the variant that has been culled from a specific reference database such as the dbSNP database. Every pane has a context menu associated with it. Some of the menu commands that are available are common to all the pane context menus, and some are pane-specific. See:
 | If any of the reference information panes are not displayed, contact SoftGenetics to download the latest reference files. |
