Update SimpleVariantFormatter to handle hybrid descriptions

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Current Limitation
SimpleVariantFormatter has issues with hybrid psudo-vcf type descriptions due to it's origin as a simpler formatting tool, but sometimes it would be useful to be able to submit at least a few more types of non standard description.

Suggested addition
Handling psudo-vcf type descriptions like chr17:50198002C>A as well a 17:50198002C>A through this endpoint.

Alternative solutions
We could otherwise submit to the core VariantValidatior, but this is overkill for our current needs and adds significant, undesirable, overhead to the validation.
