    The aiDIVA system ranked disease-causing variants among its top three candidates in over 90% of assessed rare disease cases.

    aiDIVA combines evidence-based scoring, machine learning, phenotype matching, and large language models for clinical assessment.

  • 3

    In a benchmark study, aiDIVA placed causal variants within the top three in 97% of cases with variants in ClinVar.

    The system is a decision-support tool that requires expert review and does not autonomously diagnose rare diseases.

  • 5

    aiDIVA's performance for structural variants and in-frame insertions and deletions is currently lower than for single-nucleotide variants.
