Predicting the pathogenicity of<i>RPE65</i>mutations
8 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
To assist in distinguishing disease-causing mutations from nonpathogenic polymorphisms, we developed an objective algorithm to calculate an "estimate of pathogenic probability" (EPP) based on the prevalence of a specific variation, its segregation within families, and its predicted effects on protein structure. Eleven missense variations in the RPE65 gene were evaluated in patients with Leber congenital amaurosis...
