Mission statement:

To engage with researchers and patients, communicating knowledge on variant pathogenicity for the purpose of translating variant classification data into clinical benefit; to interface with international partners to enhance the FAIRness (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) of global pathogenicity data.
