XRCC2 p.R91W 101 4.48 0.742 Probably damaging DNA damage repair via homologous recombination

Variants were selected if either of these criteria was met: Grantham score>100, GERP conservation score>3, PhastCons conservation score>0.7, or a “Probably damaging” Polyphen2 prediction.

Phastcons and GERP are both regional conservation algorithms ranging from 0 to 1 and −12.3 to 6.17 respectively (1 and 6.17 being most conserved).
