Abstract excerpt
The majority of genetic variations in the human genome that lead to variety of different diseases are caused by non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs). Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) is a deadly disease caused by nsSNPs in the NF2 gene that encodes for a protein called merlin. This study used various in silico methods, SIFT, Polyphen-2, PhD-SNP and MutPred, to investigate the pathogenic effect of...
