Saving, Reviewing and Approving Classifications

Gene-disease curation records move between different states that are indicated by colored labels.

While you are entering evidence, the gene-disease record is shown with an label. When evidence collection is complete and the record is ready for GCEP review, you can save it with a classification label. The Provisional classification will facilitate review of the record by the GCEP by providing summaries of the curated evidence and the associated scores. After the GCEP has discussed the evidence and any requested modifications have been made and saved, the classification can be approved and will then be shown with the classification label.

By saving a Summary or Provisional Classification or approving a classification, you are creating a snapshot of the gene-disease record. You can continue to curate and modify all aspects of the record. However, the snapshot is permanently saved, and its Evidence Summary will be viewable using links in the "Saved Provisional and Approved Classification(s)" section at the bottom of the page when you view the Classification Summary.
