Improvements in next-generation sequencing have enabled genome-based diagnosis for patients with genetic diseases. However, accurate interpretation of human variants requires knowledge from a number of clinical cases. In addition, manual analysis of each variant detected in a patient's genome requires enormous time and effort. To reduce the cost of diagnosis, various computational tools have been developed to predict the pathogenicity of human variants, but the shortage and bias of available clinical data can lead to overfitting of algorithms.
