# Somatic Data Filtering
To filter with somatic data, use the “+ Add Filter” button in the Cohort Banner.
## **These filters allow for:**
* Assessing impact of ingested somatic variants in cohorts
* Building Cohorts based on Somatic Variants
* Exploratory Data Analysis
## **You Can Filter By:**
* Gene Symbol or Genomic Range
* Variant effect
* Variant type
* HGVS Notation
* Variant IDs
## Adding Somatic Filters
1. Add in your dataset
2. Select "+ Add Filter"
3. Select Assays and then under Variant (Somatic), select “Genes/ Effects”
4. Select the genes/ impact/ variants that you want. Please note that the Genes/ Genomic Ranges will accept only Gene Symbols or genomic ranges.
