Disease-related mutations predicted to impact protein function.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) alter the protein sequence and can cause disease. The impact has been described by reliable experiments for relatively few mutations. Here, we study predictions for functional impact of disease-annotated mutations from OMIM, PMD and Swiss-Prot and of variants not linked to disease. RESULTS: Most disease-causing mutations were predicted to impact...
