dbVar-Som — HL7 International OID Registry
dbVar is NCBI's database of genomic structural variations (including copy number variants) that are larger than 50 contiguous base pairs. It is the complement of dbSNP, which only contains variants occurring in 50 or fewer contiguous base pairs. It contains insertions, deletions, duplications, inversions, multinucleotide substitutions, mobile element insertions, translocations, and complex chromosomal rearrangements. Germline and Somatic variants are presented in seperate files. Accordingly we have divided the coding systemd for dbVar the same way. This coding system represents the Somatic (mostly cancer) variants in dbVar. As is true for the Germline half of dbVAR, the record IDs for the somatic dbVars have prefixes of RSV, RSSV, ESV and ESSV with the leading E and R having the meaning as from germline structural variant and we also include both the submitter records and the summary records in the same filed.
