Abstract excerpt
Evaluating the functional relevance of naturally occurring gene variants usually requires experimental testing or is even impossible because of the lack of appropriate functional assays. Here we have analyzed whether comparative sequence data from orthologs are suitable to predict the functional relevance of mutations in a model protein, a G-protein-coupled receptor for ADP (P2Y(12)). The functional effect of...
