# SKILL.md - Mutation Annotation Tool

## Name
Mutation Annotation Tool

## Description
Performs functional annotation of mutations from VCF files, identifying mutation types, affected genes, amino acid changes, and functional impact predictions.

## Input
- VCF format file (standard VCF 4.2 format)
- Mutation list (format like "BRCA1:c.68_69delAG" or "TP53:p.G245S")

## Steps

### Step 1: Parse VCF or Mutation Format
- Identify input format (VCF file or HGVS format)
- VCF format parsing: Extract CHROM, POS, REF, ALT
- HGVS format parsing: Use regex to extract gene name, variant position, variant type

### Step 2: Determine Mutation Type
- SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism): REF and ALT have same length and both are 1 base
- InDel (Insertion/Deletion): REF and ALT have different lengths, or contain "ins"/"del"
- Large structural variants: Variants beyond single base range

### Step 3: Identify Affected Genes and Transcripts
- Query gene annotation database based on chromosome position
- Use simplified gene position mapping table (built-in data)
- Determine transcript ID and coding region position

### Step 4: Predict Amino Acid Changes
- DNA to RNA to amino acid translation
- Identify amino acid substitution, frameshift, nonsense mutation caused by variant
- Calculate protein length change after mutation

### Step 5: Predict Functional Impact
- Based on mutation position (domain, critical residue)
- Based on amino acid property changes (polarity, charge, size)
- Prediction classification: Benign / Likely Benign / VUS / Likely Pathogenic / Pathogenic
- Provide confidence score (0-1)

### Step 6: Output Annotation Results
- JSON format output
- Contains complete annotation information
- Also output summary table

## Output
Mutation annotation table (JSON format), containing the following fields:
- mutation_id: Unique mutation identifier
- gene: Affected gene
- transcript: Transcript ID
- chromosome: Chromosome
- position: Genomic position
- ref_allele: Reference allele
- alt_allele: Alternative allele
- variant_type: Variant type (SNP/InDel/Large Deletion etc.)
- protein_change: Protein change description
- aa_position: Amino acid position
- original_aa: Original amino acid
- substitute_aa: Substituted amino acid
- functional_impact: Functional impact prediction
- pathogenicity_score: Pathogenicity score (0-1)
- interpretation: Interpretation
- tools_used: List of annotation tools used

## Tools
- Python 3.8+
- Standard library: re, json, sys
- Built-in gene annotation database (simplified version)

## Examples

### Input Example
```
BRCA1:c.68_69delAG
TP53:p.G245S
17:g.41244938C>G
```

### Output Example
```json
{
  "mutations": [
    {
      "mutation_id": "BRCA1_c.68_69delAG",
      "gene": "BRCA1",
      "variant_type": "frameshift_deletion",
      "protein_change": "p.E23Vfs*8",
      "functional_impact": "Pathogenic",
      "pathogenicity_score": 0.95
    }
  ],
  "summary": {
    "total_mutations": 1,
    "pathogenic": 1,
    "benign": 0,
    "vus": 0
  }
}
