Variant classification

AVCG pathogenicity classifications

A citable reference table for variant pathogenicity across Dog, Cat, Horse. Every documented variant carrying a grade under the Animal Variant Classification Guidelines (AVCG; Boeykens et al. 2024), the ACMG/AMP-style framework for single-gene disorders in animals, curated in OMIA, here in one queryable place, each with its species, disease, HGVS, reference genome, and OMIA entry. Versioned: a classification updates as the evidence does.

A grade exists only where the evidence does. The absence of one is not a verdict of benign, only that the work has not been done yet, and the AVCG withholds a call as a VUS rather than guess. 142 classified, growing; not a claim of completeness. A grade describes the documented variant's causality, not a prediction for any individual animal.

Scope. The AVCG applies to single-gene disorders: variants in one gene with a high impact on disease risk, where one variant is sufficient (though not always fully penetrant) to cause disease. Grades follow the Animal Variant Classification Guidelines (AVCG; Boeykens, Broeckx et al. 2024, Front Vet Sci 11:1497817), an ACMG/AMP-style scheme; the species-specific feline application is validated in Boeykens et al. 2024 (Front Vet Sci 11:1327081). Classifications are curated in OMIA. Beyond the 142 graded variants, 6 are out-of-scope and 2 currently unresolved under the AVCG scope.

Per-criteria evidence. Where a classification has been worked through in the published guideline, the variant carries a Corroborated tag; open it to see the evidence behind the grade (in-silico predictions, population genotype counts, mutant allele frequency, the human ortholog) and the corroboration record. So far 9 of the 142 carry this detail, the ones documented in the Boeykens 2024 supplements (CC-BY); the rest show the grade alone and gain the evidence as it is added. Corroboration compares the OMIA-curated grade against the independent published grade, and flags any contradiction rather than overwriting it.

Attribution. A grade is an AVCG classification curated in OMIA. Credit: AVCG (Boeykens et al. 2024) and OMIA. A grade describes the documented variant's causality, not a per-animal prediction: penetrance, modifier loci, and environment govern whether a carrier ever shows the phenotype.

Query it. Built for pipelines and reference, not just reading: the same classifications are agent-callable through the Sniff MCP server (mcp.sniff.world) and the grounded Ask endpoint, returning the grade, its OMIA source, and how sure we are, cited.
