Gene Knowledge Integration

Usage

1. Tool Descriptions

This skill chains 3 public genomics/pharmacogenomics database APIs sequentially to build a comprehensive pharmacogenomics profile for a given gene.

Tool 1: ClinGen CAR — Gene Registry Info

Query ClinGen Allele Registry API to get gene registration information.
API: GET https://reg.genome.network/gene?HGNC.symbol={gene_symbol}
Args:
    gene_symbol (str): HGNC gene symbol (e.g. "TPMT")
Return:
    Gene record (dict): Contains @id (GN id), locus (genomic coordinates),
        externalRecords (HGNC id/name/symbol, NCBI gene id, MANE transcripts).

Tool 2: PharmGKB (ClinPGx) — Gene Info, FDA Labels & Clinical Annotations

Query PharmGKB ClinPGx API to get pharmacogenomics information.
API (gene):   GET https://api.clinpgx.org/v1/data/gene?symbol={gene_symbol}&view=base
API (labels): GET https://api.clinpgx.org/v1/data/label?source=fda&relatedGenes.symbol={gene_symbol}&view=base
API (clin):   GET https://api.clinpgx.org/v1/data/clinicalAnnotation?location.genes.symbol={gene_symbol}&view=base
Args:
    gene_symbol (str): HGNC gene symbol (e.g. "TPMT")
Return:
    gene: PharmGKB gene record with accession id, alternate names, cross-references.
    labels: FDA drug labels mentioning this gene (drug name, source, testing level).
    clinicalAnnotations: Clinical annotations linking genotype to phenotype
        (level of evidence, related chemicals, phenotype categories).

Tool 3: Monarch Initiative — Gene-Phenotype Associations

Query Monarch Initiative API to get gene-to-phenotype associations.
API: GET https://api-v3.monarchinitiative.org/v3/api/entity/{hgnc_id}/biolink:GeneToPhenotypicFeatureAssociation
Args:
    hgnc_id (str): HGNC identifier (e.g. "HGNC:12014" for TPMT)
Return:
    items (list): Each item contains subject (gene), object (phenotype HP term),
                  object_label (phenotype name), evidence_types, publications.

2. Gene Knowledge Integration

Query 3 databases (ClinGen CAR → PharmGKB → Monarch) for a given gene symbol, then save all results into a single JSON file {gene_symbol}_knowledge.json.
