Multiplexed assays of variant effect (MAVEs) are highly scalable experimental approaches used to generate functional data for genetic variants. In this Review, McEwen et al. discuss the advances in MAVE technologies and guidance on how to use MAVE data in the clinic, which is helping to reveal variant pathogenicity, develop personalized drugs and inform targeted therapies.
