Abstract excerpt
Some missense changes are compatible with normal protein function while others compromise essential aspects of protein maturation, specific activity, or stability. For those missense changes that alter function in the intact organism, how likely is it for the mutated protein to retain appreciable residual activity? By genetic analysis of patients with hemophilia B of known severity, this question can be addressed...
