Distinct epigenomic patterns are associated with haploinsufficiency and predict risk genes of developmental disorders

Predicting haploinsufficient genes helps to understand the genetic risk underlying developmental disorders. Here, the authors develop a Random Forest-based method that uses epigenomic data to predict haploinsufficiency, Episcore, which is complementary to methods based on mutation intolerance scores...
