Hello, I hope this email finds you well.
I have a question regarding " Likely oncogenic". What do you scientifically mean by it? based on what it is decided to be likely oncogenic? thank you

Hi Marcelino,

Are you referring to the designation of 'Likely oncogenic' in the OncoKB tooltip? If so, that is a classification made by the OncoKB team. You can learn more about their curation process on their website: https://www.oncokb.org/about. That page includes links to their manuscript and SOP which will provide additional detail about exactly how variants are classified.

If that's not what you're referring to, can you please provide some additional explanation?

Hi Marcelino,

That content is coming directly from OncoKB - if you look at the lower left of the tooltip, you can see it says OncoKB. All of the content in that Annotation column is pulled in from outside knowledgebases/resources. You can actually click on that OncoKB logo in the lower left corner and it will bring you to the OncoKB page for that specific mutation. For more information about how OncoKB classifies mutations, see their website: https://www.oncokb.org/about

P.S. Please keep the google group cc'ed so others can benefit from your question.

Thank you for the reply. I meant the likely oncogenic in the lollipop model  ( attached below) what does it mean?  thanks

Hi Marcelino,

You can find all rules about how OncoKB annotates variants in this document:

Please feel free to reach out to the OncoKB team directly if you have any more questions.

I hope this is helpful.
