Target Validation Ladder

Agent skill
1 skill

Grade the human-genetic validation of a drug target on a causality-ranked evidence ladder (Mendelian/rare-variant > coding GWAS+colocalization > Mendelian randomization > non-coding GWAS), scoring direction-of-effect concordance, tractability, and on-target safety read-across. Produces a 0-13 composite tier from Open Targets, the Genetic Priority Score, gnomAD constraint, and a cis-MR/PheWAS scan. Activate when assessing whether a target hypothesis is genetically supported, before mechanism-risk or PoS modeling, when screening an early-discovery asset, or when learning what separates a PCSK9-class target from a hopeful GWAS hit.
