Other properties
Comments: StudyResult objects end up being a very flexible and useful way to summarize the salient data/metadata from a larger study that is specifically useful as evidence in curation workflows aimed at generating higher order knowledge about a particular variant or other entity. For example, a specific subset of allele frequency data/metadata concerning a particular variant of interest in the Gnomad dataset can be summarized in a Study Result object, and referenced as evidence for a higher-order Statement about the variant's pathogenicity that relied on this frequency data for support.
