ClinVar and LOVD are the public variant databases a Genetic Counsellor cross-references to check how a specific genetic variant has been classified elsewhere and whether existing evidence supports pathogenicity. It's a core, hands-on research skill for the role at Indian genomics labs and hospital genetics units, used alongside OMIM during every variant work-up. Counsellors learn to navigate these databases during postgraduate genetics training, and as India's genomic testing volumes grow, fluency with them keeps counselling grounded in current global evidence rather than outdated classifications.
