What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Broad, durable ecosystem adoption (official Ensembl VEP plugin, 1,400+ citations of the Science paper, continued 2026 publications applying it to oncology/ophthalmology variant classification) proves it is a standard reference signal in clinical genomics — but DeepMind's own non-clinical-use disclaimer, the archived/unmaintained reference repo, and documented ambiguous-variant gaps mean it functions as a triage input, not an autonomous pathogenicity caller.
Next
Consume precomputed AlphaMissense scores via the official Ensembl VEP plugin (or the CC BY 4.0 score table) as one supporting line of evidence in a multi-source variant-interpretation pipeline; never as a sole diagnostic determinant, and flag score-ambiguous variants for orthogonal review.
