Large Language Model Agents for Evidence Based Genetic Disease Severity Classification

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper presents an autonomous AI agent that combines ReAct and Retrieval-Augmented Generation to classify the severity of genetic diseases using 10,211 Human Phenotype Ontology terms. It applies ACMG severity guidelines and ACOG quality-of-life criteria, retrieving PubMed literature to produce interpretable reasoning chains and verify claims. The agent achieved 93.55% accuracy on phenotype-level classification and identified 3,283 autosomal recessive gene pairs with severe presentations, with 95.2% concordance in external validation.

A Semantic Model of Genetic Evidence: A Step Toward Bridging the Basic-Science-Clinic Gap

The article presents a new semantic model for representing scientific evidence, specifically tailored to genetics, that extends existing standards by adding fine‑grained, domain‑specific structure. It aligns with FHIR Evidence and SEPIO, incorporates a compact vocabulary validated by SHACL, and was tested in a human‑AI annotation pilot on six genetics papers, producing 28 evidence items and 95 source‑anchored assertions. The authors argue that this model advances trustworthy, AI‑ready infrastructure for variant interpretation by providing a reference data model and validation schema for genetic evidence.

Retrieval-Augmented Agentic Rubric Generation for Reliable Medical Response Evaluation

The paper introduces a retrieval‑augmented multi‑agent framework that automatically generates instance‑specific evaluation rubrics for medical language models. By retrieving authoritative medical evidence, decomposing it into atomic facts, and combining these with user interaction constraints, the system produces fine‑grained criteria that outperform GPT‑4o on HealthBench and LLMEval‑Med. The generated rubrics also guide response refinement, improving medical LLM output quality by 9.2%.
