Abstract excerpt
Clinical interpretation of missense variants is challenging because the majority identified by genetic testing are rare and their functional effects are unknown. Consequently, most variants are of uncertain significance and cannot be used for clinical diagnosis or management. Although not much can be done to ameliorate variant rarity, multiplexed assays of variant effect (MAVEs), where thousands of...
