+# Human variants
+A curated set of variants from three sources: ClinVar, OMIM and gnomAD.
+
+## Data sources
+
+**ClinVar**:
+Missense variants considered "Pathogenic" by human labelers.
+
+**OMIM**:
+Regulatory variants considered "Pathogenic" by human labelers, curated in [this paper](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2016.07.005).
+
+**gnomAD**:
+A subset of rare (MAC=1) and common (MAF > 1%) variants from different categories.
+
+## Usage
+Load dataset:
+```python
+from datasets import load_dataset
+
+dataset = load_dataset("songlab/human_variants", split="test")
+```
+
+Subset to compare ClinVar Pathogenic missense vs. gnomAD common missense (here we define common as MAF > 5%):
