Research and Publications

Ensemble AI Screening of 1,211 TP53 Variants of Uncertain Significance via ESM-2 and AlphaMissense
Under peer review, PLOS ONE, 2026  |  PONE-D-26-07112  |  DOI: 10.21203/rs.3.rs-8794996/v1 (Research Square Preprint)  |  github.com/mahaddev-x/TP53-VUS-Predict
  • Queried 1,211 TP53 variants of uncertain significance from ClinVar via the NCBI Entrez API and scored each using Meta's ESM-2 protein language model (650M parameters) through zero-shot log-likelihood ratio analysis.
  • Cross-validated against Google DeepMind's AlphaMissense proteome-wide predictions (UniProt P04637), achieving Pearson r = -0.706 and Spearman rho = -0.714 concordance across 1,199 matched variants.
  • Identified 349 high-risk variants by both models and confirmed the top 5 as likely pathogenic through structural analysis on PDB 1TUP using BioPython NeighborSearch.
  • Conducted entirely independently at age 15 with no university affiliation, no supervisor, and no external funding.
