[ensembl-dev] VEP e!90 HGVS del/dup bases removed?

[Sarah Hunt]

Hi Luke,

After discussions with collaborators on the myriad of different ways the 
same allele can be represented in HGVS, we removed the 
deleted/duplicated bases to conform with the recommended rather than 
permitted version of the nomenclature. There isn't a way to include them 
at the moment. This could be added, but it would contribute to the 
difficulty in comparing annotations across different sources.

Best wishes,

Sarah
