The Summary tab & priority findings

When you open a sample for review, the Variant Interpreter lands on the Summary tab. This is the orientation surface for the sample's results: it presents the priority findings, the variants the system has identified as most likely to be pathogenic, so you can start interpreting immediately instead of working through every tab.

Priority findings

Priority findings are drawn from across the variant classes (for example a structural variant together with tandem-repeat variants) and gathered into one list. From a priority finding you can:

1. Open the variant to see its details.

2. Explore the affected gene.

3. Open the variant in the genome browser (IGV) tab to inspect the underlying reads.

4. Classify the variant so it becomes eligible for the report.

Note, that a navigation control within the details panel lets you step through the priority findings in turn, so you can triage the whole list without leaving the Summary tab.

Where to go next

The Summary tab is the fastest path through the strongest candidates. To review a variant class in full, switch to its tab, see Reviewing variants. The sample drawer is available here and on every other screen for sample context.
