This track shows structural variants (SVs) identified by long-read whole-genome sequencing of 101 individuals, released together with the GWAS SVatalog web tool described in Chirmade et al. 2026. GWAS SVatalog computes and visualizes linkage disequilibrium between these SVs and GWAS-associated SNPs so that investigators can assess whether a SNP association signal may be tagging an underlying SV.
The table contains 87,183 SVs (42,435 deletions, 41,734 insertions, 1,394 duplications, 912 inversions, 708 complex events). Each SV is annotated with gene overlaps, GC content, repeat context, ClinGen haploinsufficiency / triplosensitivity scores, gnomAD per-gene constraint metrics (pLI, LOEUF, missense O/E), OMIM phenotype associations, ClinVar variant IDs, and overlaps with DGV, Decipher and ClinGen regional annotations.
Items are colored by SV type:
Filters are available for SV type, SV length and the number of overlapping genes. The detail page shows the full annotation row: gene-level constraint scores (per overlapping gene), ClinGen / Decipher / ClinVar region matches, OMIM phenotype annotations and gnomAD SV frequencies at >=90% reciprocal overlap. Because most genomic regions carry no clinical annotation, many columns will be blank for an arbitrary SV.
SVs were called from 101 long-read whole-genome sequencing samples and annotated as described in Chirmade et al. 2026. The annotation table used here (sv_annotations.tsv) is the companion data release for GWAS SVatalog, available from the Zenodo record linked below. Coordinates in the source TSV are 1-based closed and were converted to 0-based half-open BED for this track.
Note that the SVatalog tool's pre-computed LD analyses use a common-SV subset (35,732 sites); the underlying long-read callset released in this TSV (87,183 SVs) is larger and includes rarer variants not used for LD visualisation.
The data can be explored interactively in table format with the Table Browser or the Data Integrator, and accessed programmatically through our API, track=chirmade101Sv.
The bigBed is available from our download server as chirmade101.bb. Example: bigBedToBed http://hgdownload.soe.ucsc.edu/gbdb/hg38/lrSv/chirmade101.bb -chrom=chr21 -start=0 -end=100000000 stdout.
The original annotation table is available on Zenodo: zenodo.org/records/13367574. The GWAS SVatalog web tool itself is at svatalog.research.sickkids.ca.
Thanks to Chirmade, Strug and colleagues at The Hospital for Sick Children and the University of Toronto for releasing this annotated long-read SV callset alongside the GWAS SVatalog tool.
