VEP Variant Effect Predictor issue with RefSeq and Gene symbol

Question

[manon.sourdeix]

Hi,

I am having an issue getting gene symbol when using refseq transcripts : they are blank although the gene ID is correct. When using ensembl transcripts I do get the gene symbol but I need annotations on refseq transcripts.

I read on some forums that this could be because the API is not up to date but it is (version 81). However I only have the version of the API installed during the VariantEffectPredictor installation. Could this be the problem ?

Could someone help me get the gene symbol while using refseq annotations ?

Thanks
Manon
