I don't see why IF should be expected to correlate with pathogenicity? Or is the database they source exclusively populated with gene-disease association studies?
@brembs This study also failed to find association with journal impact factor and a quality measure.https://www.nature.com/articles/gim2017230 …

In other words, do the authors exclusively look at reported pathogenicity levels (e.g., effect sizes of associations?) and find that the reliability of these reports is not related with IF?

Yes, reports in higher IF journals do not seem to show more likely pathogeneticity than those in lower IF journals.
