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!
