Show abstract
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are a group of epilepsies with early onset and severe symptoms that sometimes lead to death. While a number of genes have been successfully implicated, it remains challenging to identify causative mutations within these genes from the background variation present in all individuals due to disease heterogeneity. Our ability to detect likely pathogenic variants has continued to improve as in silico predictors of deleteriousness have advanced. We investigate their use in prioritising likely pathogenic variants in epileptic encephalopathy patient whole exome sequences and show that the inclusion of structure-based predictors of intolerance improve upon previous attempts to demonstrate enrichment within epilepsy genes.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
