Abstract excerpt
HerCanPred, a machine-learning-based pathogenicity classifier specifically optimized for 63 cancer-predisposition genes, was developed to improve the interpretation of missense variants in hereditary cancer syndromes. This model integrates sequence conservation with structural features derived from AlphaFold2 (AF2) structures. HerCanPred achieved a strong performance, outperforming 23 established predictors. SHAP...
