Structural modeling and in silico analysis of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms of human 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2

Abstract excerpt

Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), a most common type of genetic mutations, result from single base pair alterations. Non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNP) occur in the coding regions of a gene and result in single amino acid substitution which might have the potential to affect the function as well as structure of the corresponding protein. In human the 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases/Δ(4,5)-isomerase type 2...
