Measurement reliability bounds functional benchmarks and relocates where variant effect prediction fails

Background. Variant effect predictors are increasingly benchmarked against multiplexed assays of variant effect (MAVEs) rather than clinical labels, which removes label circularity but introduces a new problem: a correlation against a measurement cannot exceed the measurement's own reproducibility, and precision varies sharply across the territories compared. Results. We scored nineteen…
