Which prediction tools work for Diabetes insipidus, nephrogenic, X-linked
How often each tool ranks a disease-causing variant above a harmless one (AUROC × 100).
- PolyPhen-2: 91 out of 100 (learned from overlapping clinical labels, so this is optimistic)
- SIFT: 85 out of 100
- CATVariant: 73 out of 100 (learned from overlapping clinical labels, so this is optimistic)
Same protein, different disease
- Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is also caused by AVPR2 variants; they fall partly in the same places as the Diabetes insipidus, nephrogenic, X-linked variants (7 disease-causing).

About this data
Variant–disease links come from ClinVar, Open Targets and UniProt, pooled from the latest public CATVariant analysis of each human protein. Evidence scores use the ACMG/AMP Bayesian points scale with computable criteria only (position among known disease variants, rarity in gnomAD, calibrated predictors, deep mutational scanning); there is no family or patient data, so they prioritise variants for expert review and never classify them.
