GenVision Pro lets you create a new variants set based on the presence/absence of variants in sets that were previously created.

Before following any of the procedures below, you must first select two or more existing variants sets in the Variant Sets section of the Explorer panel. You can use Ctrl/Cmd+click or Shift+click to select the sets.
