A study shows an additional 4.8% diagnostic yield in previously unsolved cases using an artificial intelligence-assisted research workflow.

Researchers from Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard University, and OpenAI used an artificial intelligence (AI) reasoning model to reanalyze 376

previously unsolved genetic cases

, identifying leads that resulted in 18 new diagnoses.

The study, published

, utilized the OpenAI o3 Deep Research model to analyze de-identified clinical and

genomic data

. The AI-assisted workflow provided a 4.8% diagnostic yield after the cases had already undergone analysis by specialists.

The research team designed the workflow to act as an explanation-first reasoning layer on top of existing genomic pipelines. Instead of returning only a ranked gene, the model connected clinical features, inheritance patterns, variant evidence, and scientific literature to create justifications for human reviewers to evaluate.

“The bottleneck is time. An expert can devote only so much of their day to any one particular person,” says

Workflow and Laboratory Confirmation

For each case, the team assembled a de-identified packet containing standardized Human Phenotype Ontology terms to describe clinical presentations, clinician notes, and a filtered variant table. The table captured variant rarity, predicted effects on encoded proteins, and ClinVar classification.

The researchers reviewed the model’s outputs using the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology framework, which is the standard clinical labs use to classify genetic variants. A finding was only established as a diagnosis after qualified experts reviewed the evidence, the
