[Paul Flicek]

Hi Andrius,

The LRG project works extensively with the community to create 
transcripts suitable for variant reporting.  The LRG sequences and their 
component transcripts are standards specifically designed for clinical 
use cases, but the LRG project does not interpret variants.

Our curators work to ensure that transcripts with clinical relevance are 
annotated accurately and that they meet the requirements of diagnostic 
laboratories, LSDB curators and other users.

For more information, we have published a couple of papers describing 
the project including the most recent one in 2014: 
http://europepmc.org/articles/PMC3965024. There is also information at 
http://www.lrg-sequence.org.
