ClinVar aggregates information about genetic variants and their relation to human diseases and forms a valuable resource for clinical diagnostics. The assessment of variants, e.g., as being benign or pathogenetic, changes over time. We collected variant classification histories of ClinVar releases and used those to derive discrete-time Markov chains to investigate the reclassification dynamics of variants in ClinVar in terms of transition probabilities between ClinVar releases and reclassifications.

Matching journals

The top 4 journals account for 50% of the predicted probability mass.

"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.
