Evidence
Published-case evaluation
Project 19-1 ranked candidate genes from the phenotypes of published cases and compared the ranking with the gene each paper reported. It is the programme’s one result on real published data, and it is below the target.
What was measured
172 of 1,874 cases had the reported gene in the top five (9.18%; 95% interval by paper cluster 1.21% to 20.96%). Below the 90% research target.
At least one candidate received a score in 1,873 of 1,874 cases. The reported gene was in the December 2022 knowledge base in 702 of 1,874 cases.
Genes were ranked from the phenotypes of 204 published papers in the Phenopacket Store, with the gene each paper reported as the reference. Historical HPO citations overlapped 0 of those papers.
A reported causal single-nucleotide variant matched the historical ClinVar variant key and gene in 356 of 1,358 cases with a reported variant. The check uses variants reported in the papers; patient VCFs were not available.
By publication year
| Publication year | Cases | In the top five | Rate | Papers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | 1,312 | 167 | 12.73% | 136 |
| 2025 | 562 | 5 | 0.89% | 68 |

Limits of this result
- The cases are retrospective reports from the literature. Records written after diagnosis, re-reports of the same family and indirect overlap of knowledge can remain.
- A case whose reported gene was not yet in the knowledge base counts as a miss.
- Patient VCFs and independently adjudicated ACMG classifications were not available, so the project’s full pipeline was not evaluated here.
- No auditor has signed this result.
