CIViC

CIViC matters when you want clinically oriented cancer-variant evidence instead of a generic annotation alone. It is a good fit for workflows that need therapy relevance, disease context, or evidence assertions tied to specific molecular profiles and clinical interpretations.

In BioMCP, CIViC is exposed as section-gated enrichment rather than a full alternate entity system. The main entry points are get variant <id> civic, get gene <symbol> civic, get drug <name> civic, and disease workflows such as get disease <id> variants when you want CIViC-backed molecular profile context.

get drug <name> civic Therapy-context evidence for a drug CIViC therapy evidence section
get disease <id> civic Disease-context evidence and assertions CIViC disease evidence section
get disease <id> variants Disease-associated molecular profiles and variants CIViC augments the disease variants workflow

Example commands

biomcp get gene BRAF civic

Returns a gene-level CIViC evidence summary for BRAF.

biomcp get drug vemurafenib civic

Returns therapy-context CIViC evidence for the drug workflow.

biomcp get disease MONDO:0005105 civic

Returns disease-context CIViC evidence and assertions for the disease record.
