Need help to understand mutalyzer variant desciption

He there ,

I was checking my cDNA annotation (annotates by VEP ) on web and i agreed in lot of point with mutalyser until this example concerning this variant NM_000249.3:c.1484delC ( https://mutalyzer.nl/name-checker?description=NM_000249.3%3Ac.1484delC ) (with genomic position on hg19 : chr3-37070348) :

Can someone explain to me why it's write :

Raw variant 1: deletion of 1682

or my variant is in position c.1484 ?

same for this

NM_000249.3(MLH1_v001):c.1489del

my variant is in c.1484 and not c.1489 ? To me c.1484 is the result of Left Align processing isn't it ? I checked in gnomAD : http://gnomad.broadinstitute.org/variant/3-37070348-AC-A .

I'm confused with this no coherent results.

Best

The position referred to in the section Overview of the raw variants is relative to the start of the reference sequence (in this case this coincides with the transcription start since the reference sequence used is that of a transcript), not to the start of the CDS.

I hope this helps.

Ok my bad you right. Thank you

Different transcripts of the same gene. NM_000249.3:c.1484delC is NM_001258271.1:c1682delC. Check the output, but I'm guessing they've changed your reference transcript. There may be something in their docs explaining why they've done this.
