SubmissionInfo (hidden)	To register information about the submitter, and information that pertains to all data in the submission file.

Submitters who use the Submission Portal provide the information on this tab in the Submission Portal itself, and should NOT use this tab at all.
Variant	To register summary-level information about variant interpretations, including the variant, condition, and clinical significance. Aggregate-level evidence for the interpretations may also be provided on this worksheet.	REQUIRED for all submission files. All interpretations are reported on this worksheet (columns A-AW), whether for a new or updated record. Information about individuals with the variant as evidence for the interpretations may be provided on this worksheet as counts (columns AX-CS) OR on the CaseData worksheet as individual data. Please do not provide the same evidence on both worksheets to avoid double-counting.
CaseData	To register individual-level data from clinical testing or research laboratories as evidence for the interpretations reported on the Variant worksheet.	OPTIONAL. This worksheet is used in combination with the Variant worksheet.
PhenotypicDetails (hidden)	This tab is available for comment but it is not processed yet.
