摘要:
罕见疾病诊断日益依赖整合基因组、表型和转录组证据,但这些信号仍难以在统一的解释框架中整合。本文提出RareCollab,一种基于大语言模型的多模态推理框架,整合超过100种诊断证据信号,包括DNA、RNA、表型、已整理的变异水平知识和计算机模拟的致病性证据。该设计使大语言模型能够作为校准且可解释的推理模块,而非单一端到端排序器。RareCollab应用于三个队列中的890名患者,包括119名未确诊疾病网络病例,其配对DNA和RNA数据构成大规模系统基准。在真实世界多模态基准中,RareCollab在前10名中优先考虑了94%的诊断基因。在召回率阈值从前1到前10的范围内,它在平均上比专有表型驱动的LLM基线(包括Claude Sonnet 4.6和GPT-5-mini)高出25%以上,并超越了现有最先进的变异优先级方法11%-24%。RareCollab还重塑了RNA证据的诊断贡献,在42/119个病例中帮助优先考虑诊断基因。这些结果确立了RareCollab作为多模态罕见疾病诊断的可扩展且可解释的框架。
英文摘要:
Rare disease diagnosis increasingly relies on integrating genomic, phenotypic and transcriptomic evidence, yet these signals remain difficult to reconcile within a common interpretive framework. Here we present RareCollab, an LLM-powered framework for multimodal reasoning in Mendelian disease diagnosis that integrates more than 100 diagnostic evidence signals across DNA, RNA, phenotype, curated variant-level knowledge, and in-silico pathogenicity evidence. This design enables large language models to operate as calibrated, interpretable reasoning modules rather than as a single end-to-end ranker. We applied RareCollab to 890 patients from three cohorts, including 119 Undiagnosed Diseases Network probands with paired DNA and RNA data, constituting a large systematic benchmark for multimodal rare disease diagnosis under paired genomic and transcriptomic evaluation. In this real-world multimodal benchmark, RareCollab prioritized 94% of diagnostic genes within the top 10. Across recall thresholds from top 1 to top 10, it consistently outperformed proprietary phenotype-driven LLM baselines including Claude Sonnet 4.6 and GPT-5-mini by more than 25% on average and surpassed established state-of-the-art variant prioritization methods by 11%-24%. RareCollab also reshapes the diagnostic contribution of RNA evidence, which contributes to prioritization of the diagnostic gene in 35% of cases (42/119). Together, these results establish RareCollab as a scalable and interpretable framework for multimodal rare disease diagnosis.
