## What it does

The workflow covers deletions, duplications, inversions, translocations and complex rearrangements. It directs the agent to normalize coordinates, identify affected and nearby genes, and inspect breakpoints. ClinGen HI/TS scores, gnomAD SV frequencies and ClinVar records inform a five-tier classification with evidence attached to each criterion.

The skill calls for retrieving evidence with ToolUniverse tools and running computational work in Python through Bash. Its workflow also includes PubMed searches and review of DECIPHER cases. Some classification details and implementation procedures are referenced in `CLASSIFICATION_GUIDE.md` and `ANALYSIS_PROCEDURES.md`.

A separate 0–10 score weights gene content, dosage sensitivity, population frequency and clinical evidence. That score depends on the evidence retrieved, so it should be checked against the underlying records before being used in clinical interpretation.

## When to use it
- identify genes affected by a structural variant
- assess dosage sensitivity for genes within a deletion or duplication
- compare an SV with gnomAD SV frequencies and ClinVar records
- produce an ACMG-adapted classification with criterion-level evidence

## Example prompts
- Assess the clinical significance of this deletion and check dosage sensitivity for each affected gene.
- Review this inversion by examining its breakpoints and searching ClinVar evidence.
- Classify this structural variant using ACMG-adapted criteria and show the evidence for each one.

description: "Structural variant (SV) clinical interpretation: deletions, duplications, inversions, translocations, complex rearrangements. Applies ACMG-adapted criteria with ClinGen HI/TS dosage scores, gnomAD frequencies, and ClinVar evidence. Produces 5-tier classification with explicit per-criterion evidence. Use for clinical genomics SV review, dosage-sensitivity assessment, breakpoint analysis, and CNV pathogenicity calls. Gene-dosage-driven reasoning."

## COMPUTE, DON'T DESCRIBE
When analysis requires computation (statistics, data processing, scoring, enrichment), write and run Python code via Bash. Don't describe what you would do — execute it and report actual results. Use ToolUniverse tools to retrieve data, then Python (pandas, scipy, statsmodels, matplotlib) to analyze it.

# Structural Variant Analysis Workflow

Systematic analysis of structural variants (deletions, duplications, inversions, translocations, complex rearrangements) for clinical genomics interpretation using ACMG-adapted criteria.

**LOOK UP DON'T GUESS** - Always retrieve ClinGen HI/TS scores, gnomAD frequencies, and ClinVar evidence from tools. Do not infer dosage sensitivity from gene function alone.

**KEY PRINCIPLES**:
1. **Report-first approach** - Create SV_analysis_report.md FIRST, then populate progressively
2. **ACMG-style classification** - Pathogenic/Likely Pathogenic/VUS/Likely Benign/Benign with explicit evidence
3. **Evidence grading** - Grade all findings by confidence level (High/Moderate/Limited)
4. **Dosage sensitivity critical** - Gene dosage effects drive SV pathogenicity
5. **Breakpoint precision matters** - Exact gene disruption vs dosage-only effects
6. **Population context essential** - gnomAD SVs for frequency assessment
7. **English-first queries** - Always use English terms in tool calls. Respond in the user's language

## Triggers

Use this skill when users:
- Ask about structural variant interpretation
- Have CNV data from array or sequencing
- Ask "is this deletion/duplication pathogenic?"
- Need ACMG classification for SVs
- Want to assess gene dosage effects
- Ask about chromosomal rearrangements
```
