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, Broeckx 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; erratum 11:1458433). Classifications are curated in OMIA. Beyond the 142 graded variants, 6 are out-of-scope and 2 currently unresolved under the AVCG scope.

Evidence behind the grade. Where the OMIA-curated grade is independently corroborated by the published guideline, the variant carries a green Corroborated tag; open it for the supporting evidence (in-silico predictions, population genotype counts, mutant allele frequency, the human ortholog). 9 of the 142 are corroborated this way today, from the Boeykens, Broeckx et al. 2024 supplements (CC-BY); the remainder rest on a single curated source and show the grade alone, gaining evidence as it is added. This is the evidence behind the grade, not the per-criteria AVCG code breakdown (PVS1/PM2-style), which is a planned ingest. Where sources disagree, the grade is flagged Contested and the disagreement shown, not overwritten.

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.

In the knowledge graph. Each disease is cross-referenced to its canonical Mondo identifier (75 of the diseases here), so a classification links straight into the Monarch knowledge graph, where its human-disease analog and phenotypes live, the Mondo↗ link by each disease opens that term. Mondo is the cross-resource disease ontology (Vasilevsky, Mungall et al. 2025; CC-BY 4.0); the OMIA cross-references are Mondo's own curated mappings, OMIA remains the canonical source of the classification itself. Breed identifiers are reconciled to VBO, FCI, iDog and VeNom as a published SSSOM mapping set.

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