  Causes of GI352 Variant Not Found
  
  
  Non-Existent Variant: The variant you are trying to use does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo in the variant name or the variant being deleted.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the variant, especially if the variant was created by another user.
  
  
  Incorrect User Context: The variant may be user-specific, and the user trying to access it is not the one who created it.
