Current Issues

Current issues affecting the Interpretation Portal:

Issue ID Affected referrals Description Impact Affected versions Workaround
INTPORTAL-2100 Cancer Incorrect VCF file (<Germline-sample>_<Tumour-sample>.somatic.vcf.gz) available to be downloaded from the Interpretation Portal. The VCF file that is available to be downloaded is an intermediate ITD VCF instead of the VCF file with somatic small variants after normalisation. Regulus 1.1 Increment 2.33 and Regulus 1.2 Increment 2.33 Please contact the Genomics England Service Desk if you require the correct VCF to continue with your analysis until a fix is released.
CIPAPI-2835 Cancer and Rare Disease Performance issues when dispatching a high volume of referrals to the decision support systems supported. A small number of referrals might take longer than usual to be available in the decision support systems. All Please contact the Genomics England Service Desk if you suspect a dispatch issue occured.
INTPORTAL-1977 Rare Disease Virtual gene panel information might appear duplicated in the Interpretation Browser for some STR variants. If a referral has tiered STR variants present, the virtual gene panel information might appear duplicated in the Interpretation Browser. This issue only affects the display of the data. STR variants can be added to the SoF from the Interpretation Portal as usual. All At present there is no workaround, other than documenting this in the user guide for user awareness until a fix is released.

Resolved Issues

Issues fixed in this release:

Issue ID Affected referrals Description Impact Fix version
INTPORTAL-2049 Rare Disease When linking out to OMIM, the top result was filtered out. The first entry was filtered out on the OMIM website after clicking on the OMIM linkout provided in the Interpretation Browser due to how the URL was constructed. The workaround available for users while waiting for a fix was to perform the search in OMIM manually instead. Regulus 1.3 Increment 2.33
INTPORTAL-2033 Rare Disease An issue was causing some referral pages to load slowly, usually low-quality samples. Slow performance when loading the data in the Interpretation Browser for some referrals. Users had to wait longer than usual to see the data. Regulus 1.3 Increment 2.33
INTPORTAL-2028 Rare Disease Users were unable to select the correct report event for STRs in compound heterozygous states. Users couldn't select TIER1 or TIER2 report events of STRs to be included in the SoF. The workaround available for users while waiting for a fix was to close the pop-up window and try again. Regulus 1.3 Increment 2.33
INTPORTAL-2027 Rare Disease Incorrect counts of tiered variants were being shown, after selecting and deselecting tiered STRs. Incorrect counts of tiered variants were being shown in the Interpretation Summary after selecting and deselecting tiered STRs from the Interpretation Browser. The workaround available for users while waiting for a fix was to refresh the page. Regulus 1.3 Increment 2.33
INTPORTAL-2023 Rare Disease Ordering SNVs and CNVs by tier was not working as expected. The sorting functionality available in the Interpretation Browser didn't allow users to sort SNVs and CNVs by tier. The workaround available for users while waiting for a fix was to filter variants by individual tiers to avoid missing variants categorised in higher tiers and not to rely on the sorting by tier functionality. Regulus 1.3 Increment 2.33
Issues fixed in previous releases

INTPORTAL-1931 Rare Disease The variant summary on the referral page didn't include Tier B CNVs. Petra 2.31
INTPORTAL-1988 Rare Disease The gene panel name for SNV variants was incorrectly displayed as a link. It now appears as plain text as intended. Petra 2.31
INTPORTAL-1948 Not applicable Users are no longer prompted to sign in again after refreshing a page, as long as they are already authenticated. Petra 2.31

IP-5207 Rare Disease The CVA links to variants and ClinVar annotations are now loaded to variants when using the Add variants from VCF feature Jabbah 2.22
INTPORTAL-1704 Rare Disease Now, after using the Add variants from VCF feature, the user sees the Filter Tiered Variants filter engaging with the selected gene and only the variants for this selected gene are visible in the SNV variant table Jabbah 2.22
