Condel and FATHMM-MKL: Clinical likelihood ratios and balanced accuracy for 44 in silico tools against multiple large-scale functional assays of cancer susceptibility genes and Livesey and Marsh 2025, Genome Biology 26:104 (Europe PMC full text XML) disagree
- Low severity
- Not yet reviewed
- two-study-conflict
- unknown
Clinical likelihood ratios and balanced accuracy for 44 in silico tools against multiple large-scale functional assays of cancer susceptibility genes ranks FATHMM-MKL above Condel in 5 of 5 comparisons; Livesey and Marsh 2025, Genome Biology 26:104 (Europe PMC full text XML) ranks Condel above FATHMM-MKL in 7 of 7 comparisons. No other study gives a verdict, so neither is the outlier.
An automatic lead, not a finding of error. The results below are shown as published, everywhere on the site, until a reviewer decides otherwise.
Which studies agree
2 papers rank Condel above FATHMM-MKL in 7 of their 12 comparisons and FATHMM-MKL higher in 5. Of those papers, Clinical likelihood ratios and balanced… ranks FATHMM-MKL higher on its own (5 of 5).
- Rank Condel higher (1): Livesey and Marsh 2025
- Rank FATHMM-MKL higher (1): Clinical likelihood ratios and balanced…
- Mixed (0): none
Each paper sits where at least two thirds of its comparisons point; Mixed means neither model reaches two thirds. The larger, outlined dot is the paper that disagrees.

How to help resolve this
If you know why these studies disagree, for example a different population, metric or preprocessing step, or you have a corrected value, tell us through the contribution form. A reviewer checks every submission against its source before anything changes, and the step is added to the follow-up above.
