Google DeepMind Unveils AI That Predicts Disease Risk from 71 Million Genetic Mutations with 90% Accuracy

Google DeepMind releases AlphaMissense, a breakthrough AI system that predicts disease risk from 71 million genetic mutations with 90% accuracy, vastly outperforming existing methods and offering free access to researchers worldwide to accelerate rare disease diagnosis and treatment development.

• Google DeepMind releases AlphaMissense, an AI tool that classifies 71 million possible missense genetic mutations as either likely pathogenic or likely benign with 89% coverage
• The AI model outperforms existing computational methods in predicting disease-causing variants and achieves 90% precision on known disease variant databases
• Researchers make all predictions freely available to accelerate genetic disease research, diagnosis of rare disorders, and development of life-saving treatments
