LA-MARRVEL: A Knowledge-Grounded, Language-Aware LLM Framework for Clinically Robust Rare Disease Gene Prioritization

  • 基于结构化表型提示构建,融合患者与疾病特征
  • 召回率@1提升12-15个百分点,优于传统方法
  • 输出符合ACMG标准的可审计解释,适合临床部署

罕见病诊断需在大量异构证据中匹配携带变异的基因与复杂患者表型,当前临床解读流程耗时长。为克服此问题,我们提出LA-MARRVEL——一种知识增强、语言感知的LLM框架,专为临床鲁棒性与实际部署设计。该框架在召回率@1上相比现有方法提升12-15个百分点,表明架构设计可带来显著精度提升。关键在于结构化、富含表型信息的提示构造,能更有效保留临床相关上下文,优于仅依赖疾病标签的方法。在三个真实队列中,LA-MARRVEL持续提升基因排序性能,包括初始排名靠后的致病基因。对每个候选基因,系统提供符合ACMG标准的可审计解释,整合表型一致性、遗传模式与变异证据,支持高效临床审核。结果表明,知识增强的LLM层可无缝提升现有罕见病基因优先排序流程,无需改变既有诊断管线。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Rare disease diagnosis requires matching variant-bearing genes to complex patient phenotypes across large and heterogeneous evidence sources. This process remains time-intensive in current clinical interpretation pipelines. To overcome these limitations, We present LA-MARRVEL, a knowledge-grounded, language-aware LLM framework and designed for clinical robustness and practical deployment. LA-MARRVEL delivers a 12-15 percentage-point absolute improvement in Recall@1 over established gene prioritization approaches, showing that architectural design can drive substantial accuracy gains. We found that the central contributor is structured, phenotype-rich prompt construction that explicitly encodes patient and disease phenotypes, preserving clinically meaningful context more effectively than disease labels alone. Across three real-world cohorts, LA-MARRVEL consistently improves gene-ranking performance, including in challenging cases where the causal gene was initially ranked lower by first-stage prioritization. For each candidate gene, the system delivers clinically relevant, ACMG-aligned reasoning that integrates phenotype concordance, inheritance patterns, and variant-level evidence into auditable explanations, enabling streamlined clinical review. These findings suggest that knowledge-grounded LLM layer can enhance existing rare-disease gene prioritization workflows without altering established diagnostic pipelines.
