Abstract excerpt
Computational algorithms are often used to assess pathogenicity of Variants of Uncertain Significance (VUS) that are found in disease-associated genes. Most computational methods include analysis of protein multiple sequence alignments (PMSA), assessing interspecies variation. Careful validation of PMSA-based methods has been done for relatively few genes, partially because creation of curated PMSAs is...
