=head1 NAME

 RefSeqHGVS -- provide RefSeq-based HGVS tags for VEP output

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 cp RefSeqHGVS.pm ~/.vep/Plugins/ (or elsewhere in PERL5LIB)
 perl variant_effect_predictor.pl -i variations.vcf --plugin RefSeqHGVS

 Output:
 Variant lines with the following addtiional tags:
     HGVSc-RefSeq=NM_198156.2:c.403delA;HGVSp-RefSeq=NP_937799.1:p.Arg135GlyfsX26

=head1 DESCRIPTION

 RefSeqHGVS is a plugin for Ensembl's Variant Effect Predictor that
 provides variant annotatoins in HGVS format [1] using RefSeq accessions
 (typically NM and NP).  It provides the analog to VEP's HGVSc and HGVSp
 annotations, which use Ensembl ENST and ENSP accessions.  This module
 relies RefSeq data in the OtherFeatures database.

 Converting ENST HGVS tags to RefSeq tags is confounded subtle differences
 between exon structures for the same CDS.  The plugin is intended to be
 conservative by requiring exact matches of both CDS and exon structure
 when converting variants.

=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

=over

=item * RefSeq transcripts limited to those in the OtherFeatures database. 

Archived RefSeq transcripts are not available.

=item * Discrepancies between RefSeq and GRCh37

 Approximately 20% of RefSeqs differ from the GRCh37 due to substitution
 (16.2%), insertion/deletion (3.5%), or both (1.2%) differences. [1]
 Variants are annotated by difference with respect to the genome, not the
 RefSeq transcript.

 effects of base substitutions.

=item * Conservative selection of equivalent RefSeq transcripts.

Only NM transcripts which are exactly identical to the ENST transcript in
both CDS and exon structure are used.  In the future, this might be
relaxed to exclude only regions of mismatch.  Currently, this implies that
HGVS tags are not constructued when the RefSeq differs from the reference
geneome.
