Discordance between a deep learning model and clinical-grade variant pathogenicity classification in a rare disease cohort

Genetic testing has become an essential component in the diagnosis and management of a wide range of clinical conditions, from cancer to developmental disorders, especially in rare Mendelian diseases. Efforts to identify rare phenotype-associated variants have predominantly focused on protein-truncating variants, while the interpretation of missense variants presents a considerable challenge. Deep learning algorithms excel in various applications across biomedical tasks
