Variant evidence review

Interpret PP3 and BP4 as calibrated evidence, not predictor votes

Computational predictions can contribute evidence for or against a deleterious effect. Concordance among correlated tools is not automatically independent evidence, and a raw score should not be converted into a criterion from model memory.

Agent question

Which computational evidence and applied PP3 or BP4 strength are returned for this public variant?

Report what the contract returns

Preserve each returned predictor observation, calibration context where provided, applied criterion strength and provenance. If PP3 or BP4 is not applied, do not infer it from a score or a majority vote.

Avoid double counting

Multiple predictors may use overlapping training data or features. Reviewers should use calibrated, criterion-specific guidance and consider splicing evidence separately when relevant.

  • Returned score and direction
  • Applied criterion and strength
  • Calibration or threshold provenance when publicly provided
  • Potential dependence among predictors
  • Variant consequence and splicing context
  • Gene-specific specifications
