New HGMD Feature
References within mutation details now include the title of the cited journal articles.
As a reminder, HGMD Professional contains a significantly greater number of clinically relevant variants than ClinVar, OMIM, and SWISS-PROT, according to an analysis (Peterson et al., 2013),comparing variant mutation databases.

ANNOVAR
A new version of ANNOVAR is now available! New features are listed below:
• Per user request, we have now made hg38 version of ensGene available through ANNOVAR
directly so that users do not need to build it themselves.
• avsnp150 is available through ANNOVAR now in hg19 and hg38 coordinate, to annotate your
variants with dbSNP identifiers.
• Latest clinvar (20170905) is available now through ANNOVAR in hg19 and hg38
coordinates. A long-standing problem on multi-allelic variants in ClinVar is now
addressed, so that multi-allelic variants are now correctly assigned to the corresponding
benign/pathogenic categories. The 20170130/20170501 versions are also updated to resolve
this issue.
• About 2.4 million Brazilian genomic variants with allele frequencies are available now in
hg19/hg38 coordinate. The data set comprises exomic variants of 609 elderly individuals
from a census-based sample from the city of São Paulo. Please use abraom as the keyword
to download and annotate, and refer to the original publication for details.
• pre-computed intervar scores (version 20180118) is available on both hg19 and hg38 now
with intervar_20180118 keyword. Only missense variants are included, and this is meant for
a quick-and-dirty analysis of most missense variants. For a more comprehensive/formal
calculation of scores, download https://github.com/WGLab/InterVar instead.
• Minor fixes and improvements.
