Genetic testing is an important tool for diagnosing and preventing hereditary cancers. Variant annotation helps scientists interpret the clinical significance of genetic variants detected by next-generation sequencing. Unreliable annotation systems can cause inter-laboratory classification differences and discrepancies in clinical decisions, underscoring the need for annotation systems that accurately convey variant data from diverse data sources.
