Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Unclassified genetic variants are commonly encountered in molecular diagnostic service. In silico analyses using web-based predictive programs may provide information on the nature of the genetic variants, and help to prioritize novel variants for in vitro functional characterization. The objective of this study was to compare the performance of three such programs in genes related to steroid...
