In this study, the authors introduce CADD-SV, a method that uses a wide set of annotations to predict the effects of structural variants (SVs). They overcome previous limitations of supervised learning approaches by using a surrogate training objective and show that CADD-SV can effectively predict pathogenic and rare population variants.
Although technological advances improved the identification of structural variants (SVs) in the human genome, their interpretation remains challenging. Several methods utilize individual mechanistic principles like the deletion of coding sequence or 3D genome architecture disruptions. However, a comprehensive tool using the broad spectrum of available annotations is missing. Here, we describe CADD-SV, a method to retrieve and integrate a wide set of annotations to predict the effects of SVs. Previously, supervised learning approaches were limited due to a small number and biased set of annotated pathogenic or benign SVs. We overcome this problem by using a surrogate training objective, the Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion (CADD) of functional variants. We use human- and chimpanzee-derived SVs as proxy-neutral and contrast them with matched simulated variants as proxy-deleterious, an approach that has proven powerful for short sequence variants. Our tool computes summary statistics over diverse variant annotations and uses random forest models to prioritize deleterious structural variants. The resulting CADD-SV scores correlate with known pathogenic and rare population variants. We further show that we can prioritize somatic cancer variants as well as noncoding variants known to affect gene expression. We provide a website and offline-scoring tool for easy application of CADD-SV.
