Causal Prediction of TP53 Variant Pathogenicity Using a Perturbation‐Informed Protein Language Model
Advanced Science, EarlyView.A TP53‐specific predictor, CaVepP53, is developed by fine‐tuning ESMC on experimentally validated variants, quantifying pathogenicity via Euclidean distances. It outperforms general‐purpose models and extends to five cancer genes, enabling interpretable variant classification for precision medicine.
