From Pathogenicity to Mechanism: A Variant Interpretation Framework for Monogenic Epilepsy.
Clinical genetics - 1 Oct 2026
Ye Shaopei, Chen Peng
Abstract excerpt
Pathogenicity predictors exceed AUROC 0.97 on expert-curated ClinVar, yet the monogenic-epilepsy variant-of-uncertain-significance backlog persists because pathogenicity alone provides no direction-of-effect, no scalable mechanism-to-treatment mapping, and no evidence that updates as ClinVar grows. SeizeVar couples a consensus pathogenicity head (random forest plus ESM-2 LoRA cross-attention) to a...
