Abstract: Tertiary analysis within a genomic samples workflow from Next Generation Sequencing corresponds to the biological annotation of the variants detected and their subsequent prioritisation and interpretation for clinical purposes. For this goal, there are many computational tools that try to predict the pathogenicity of certain genetic variants using different approaches, either through score-based classifiers or platforms that prioritise those variants with the greatest potential to cause a certain phenotype or disease. In this work, an evaluation and comparison of different methods of pathogenicity prediction and variant prioritisation in clinical environments has been carried out, through the computation of statistical metrics that evaluate the performance of different classifiers from the literature and the detailed analysis of several prioritisation platforms. Several sets of public variants are obtained with which to perform the different analyses and comparisons. Our results show that the predictors with the highest performance for the analysed variants are ClinPred, BayesDel, REVEL, VEST4, fathmmMKL and PrimateAI, while on the other hand GenIO is presented as the best platform to obtain a prioritised list of variants with higher pathogenicity. Likewise, VarCards and OpenCRAVAT stand out as appropriate starting points for the comprehensive annotation of the variants detected in the sequencing experiment.
