Advances in genome sequencing have led to a tremendous increase in the discovery of novel missense variants, but evidence for determining clinical significance can be limited or conflicting. Here, we present Learning from Evidence to Assess Pathogenicity (LEAP), a machine learning model that utilizes a variety of feature categories to classify variants, and achieves high performance in multiple genes and different health conditions. Feature categories include functional predictions, splice predictions, population frequencies, conservation scores, protein domain data, and clinical observation data such as personal and family history and covariant information. L2-regularized logistic regression and random forest classification models were trained on missense variants detected and classified during the course of routine clinical testing at Color Genomics (14,226 variants from 24 cancer-related genes and 5,398 variants from 30 cardiovascular-related genes). Using 10-fold cross-validated predictions, the logistic regression model achieved an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 97.8% (cancer) and 98.8% (cardiovascular), while the random forest model achieved 98.3% (cancer) and 98.6% (cardiovascular). We demonstrate generalizability to different genes by validating predictions on genes withheld from training (96.8% AUROC). High accuracy and broad applicability make LEAP effective in the clinical setting as a high-throughput quality control layer.
