<div>Just a quick update.  In a quick query across our variants in about 120 genes, there are over 12,000 HIGH/MODERATE SNPs which have a missing SIFT score (which is present in dbNSFP).  This does not include cases where there are multiple transcripts, and
 the SIFT score is present on a subset of those transcripts (but present for all transcripts in dbNSFP).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We really appreciate your help & advice. It would really helpful to get an update on when this might be fixed for GRCh37.  We are not ready to move onto GRCh38 in our pipelines yet. </div>

<div>Thanks Sarah -</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I found several other instances as well where there was only one transcript that was annotated with SIFT with others having it missing.  In these scenarios too, dbNSFP as well as the SIFT database have the scores for the VEP missing SIFT score.   Let me
 know if I should send on a list?  I should have a count on how prevalent this is later today for a targeted set of genes.</div>

<p>Hi Ann,</p>
<p>Thanks for reporting this. Checking at this variant in GRCh38, SIFT scores are available for the protein coding transcripts which suggests the lack of scores for GRCh37 may be due to a technical issue. We will look into this when we next update our GRCh37
 database. <br>

<p>Best wishes,</p>

We are running a local installation of VEP (v84) and are running it with –offline and –cache parameters. Caches were installed with the VEP script (we did not use custom caches - using <span style="font-family:

  I have noticed in some cases the SIFT and Polyphen scores for transcripts are different than what is reported in dbNSFP3 for a variant.  I was wondering what version of SIFT and Polyphen scores are included in the pre–built caches or if there are thoughts
 on why they would be different.  Additionally is it the polyphen v2 score or polyphen?</div>
