Abstract excerpt
As more studies are turning to bioinformatic prediction programs to assess the potential impact of amino acid substitutions, it is relevant to evaluate the prediction results these programs give in genes that have been well-characterized for Mendelian diseases. Eight genes responsible for neurodegenerative disease with many identified mutations were sub-grouped into those that either have a gain or loss of...
