About ClinTAD
ClinTAD is a tool to quickly evaluate the clinical relevance of copy number
variants (CNVs) in the context of topologically associated domains (TADs). Instructions
for using the tool are below.
The Single Page
If you have data for a single patient, the Single page can be used to visualize
the relationship between a copy number variant and nearby TADs. Fill out the following fields appropriately
and submit your query to see the TADs.
Chromosome: Enter the chromosome number as an integer (e.g. 1 or 2), X, or Y
Start: Enter the coordinate of the start of the CNV
End: Enter the coordinate of the end of the CNV
Phenotype (optional): Enter any relevant phenotypes for your patient using HPO IDs. Phenotypes can be entered as integers or as full HPO ID numbers. For example, if a relevant phenotype is "cleft upper lip", enter HP:0000204 or just 204.
The HPO Phenotype Lookup form can be used to look up the HPO ID number for relevant phenotypes. For example if your patient has a cleft lip, enter "cleft" and press the lookup button. A list of HPO IDs with the word "cleft" in the name, def, or comment field will then be added to the dropdown menu. Press the add button once a phenotype is selected to move the ID to the Phenotypes form.

The Multiple Page
If you have data for multiple patients or a single patient with multiple variants/regions, the
Multiple page can be used to more quickly analyze this data.
