    * - Somatic
      - |attribute-somatic|
-     - Highest priority variants in CIViC. May include presumed somatic variants largely driven by the usage in the original publication but should be approached with caution in instances of tumor-only analysis. Includes fusions.
+     - Variant is a mutation, found only in tumor cells, having arisen in a specific tissue (non-germ cell), and is not expected to be inherited or passed to offspring.
    * - Rare Germline
      - |attribute-raregermline|
-     - Consist of heritable rare variants. Generally, <1% of the population relevant to the publication being cited.
+     - Variant is found in every cell (not restricted to tumor/diseased cells) and is thought to exist in less than 1% of the population relevant to this evidence item.
    * - Common Germline
      - |attribute-commongermline|
-     - Defined as variants with >1% allele frequency in the population relevant to the publication where the evidence is derived. Are welcome in CIViC, however, generally considered low priority for curation efforts.
+     - Variant is found in every cell (not restricted to tumor/diseased cells) and is thought to exist in at least 1% of the population relevant to this evidence item.
    * - Combined
      - |attribute-combined|
-     - Variants in the corresponding Complex Molecular Profile have heterogeneous/multiple origins.
+     - Variants in the corresponding Complex Molecular Profile have heterogeneous origins.
    * - Unknown
      - |attribute-unknown|
-     - May be used in instances where the publication is ambiguous about the origin of the variant although ordinarily an origin would be known (e.g., tumor-only analysis, analyses including both germline and somatic variants).
+     - The variant origin is uncertain based on the available evidence.
    * - N/A
      - |attribute-na|
-     - For variants such as 'Expression' where a germline or somatic origin is not applicable.
+     - The variant type (e.g., expression) is not compatible (or easily classified) with the CIViC concept of variant origin.
