Abstract excerpt
The ability to predict the effect of nonsynonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) on protein function is important for the success of genetic disease association studies. Here we present a statistical geometry approach to nsSNP classification based on Delaunay tessellation, whereby the impact of nsSNPs on protein function is correlated with the change in the four-body statistical potential (DeltaQ) of the protein caused by the...
