Description

The objective of this FOA is to establish expert panels that will select genes and genomic variants associated with diseases or conditions of high priority to NICHD and systematically determine their clinical significance and utility for diagnosis and treatment of these diseases or conditions. The Genomic Clinical Variant Expert Curation Panels funded through this FOA are expected to utilize the NHGRI Clinical Genomics Resource (ClinGen) and the NCBI ClinVar tools and informatics infrastructure to determine the strength of evidence supporting the clinical significance or actionability of the selected genes and variants that will support development of clinical practice guidelines.
