94. Initial efforts of the ClinGen Solid Tumor Taskforce in promoting variant curation in solid tumors into CIViC

The Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen) Somatic Clinical Domain Working Group (CDWG) (https://www.clinicalgenome.org/working-groups/clinical-domain/somatic-cancer-cdwg/) is an international multi-institutional effort to develop and standardize data curation guidelines for somatic genomic alterations in cancer. The recognition of a demanded but missing focus specific for solid tumors, in light of expanded testing options and the increased complexity of tumor classification systems that incorporate molecular information, led to the formation of the Somatic Cancer Solid Tumor Taskforce (STT) under the CDWG.
