Computing the Pathogenicity of Wilson's Disease ATP7B Mutations: Implications for Disease Prevalence.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic variations in the gene encoding the copper-transport protein ATP7B are the primary cause of Wilson's disease. Controversially, clinical prevalence seems much smaller than the prevalence estimated by genetic screening tools, causing fear that many people are undiagnosed, although early diagnosis and treatment is essential. To address this issue, we benchmarked 16 state-of-the-art computational...
