How to construct links to ClinVar
Link to a VCV page
The simplest way to link to ClinVar is to link to a single VCV, or variant, page.
The base url is:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/
Add either the Variation ID or the VCV accession number to the base URL. Some examples:
- Use the Variation ID: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/7105/
- Use the VCV accession: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/variation/VCV000007105/
Link to one or more pages using a query
More customized links can be created by querying ClinVar. For example, you may want to link to all ClinVar variants in a gene or all ClinVar variants within a genomic region.
- The result may be a single record or a set of records that satisfy the query.
- In this case, use the base URL and add a qualifier for the query to construct the final URL.
- The table below summarizes some common approaches to link to ClinVar.
- These examples are a sample only. Any field or property listed in the help documentation can be used to build a URL by combining the base URL with the qualifier.
- You can use Advanced search to test query options and results.
