Hi there, I notice that the association score is inconsistent between the webpage and the data I downloaded from Associations - direct (overall score). For example, we can see gastric cancer-MYC is 0.42 on [webpage](https://platform.opentargets.org/disease/MONDO_0001056/associations), but in the file I downloaded, it is 0.11. Do you know why that is? Thank you ---

Hi @simonniu, and welcome to the Open Targets Community! 🎉 The difference in scores is due to how the Platform handles direct and indirect evidence for an association. You can read more in [this post](https://community.opentargets.org/t/differences-in-overall-association-scoring-between-target-disease-and-disease-target/773), [this post](https://community.opentargets.org/t/score-values-from-disease-target-vs-target-disease/232), and [the documentation](https://platform-docs.opentargets.org/associations#ontological-selection-of-evidence). Let me know if you have further questions!
