variant_searcher

Search MyVariant.info for genetic variant DATABASE RECORDS. ⚠️ PREREQUISITE: Use the 'think' tool FIRST to plan your research strategy! Important: This searches for variant DATABASE RECORDS (frequency, significance, etc.), NOT articles about variants. For articles about variants, use article_searcher. Searches the comprehensive variant database including: - Population frequencies (gnomAD, 1000 Genomes, etc.) - Clinical significance (ClinVar) - Functional predictions (SIFT, PolyPhen, CADD) - Gene and protein consequences Search by various identifiers or filter by clinical/functional criteria.
