46. ClinGen somatic cancer working group: Enhancing standardized interpretation of cancer genetic data for clinical use

The Clinical Genome (ClinGen) Resource, is a US National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)-funded program to facilitate interpretation, annotation and utilization of clinical genomic data. ClinGen assembles experts to engage in standardized curation within clinical domains. Somatic Cancer is a ClinGen Clinical Domain Working Group (CDWG), consisting of>95 members worldwide with clinical (oncology, pathology) and genomics expertise. Somatic CDWG members identify cancer candidate genes that require expert curation to achieve consensus in clinical interpretation.
