Identification of pathogenic missense mutations using protein stability predictors.

Abstract excerpt

Attempts at using protein structures to identify disease-causing mutations have been dominated by the idea that most pathogenic mutations are disruptive at a structural level. Therefore, computational stability predictors, which assess whether a mutation is likely to be stabilising or destabilising to protein structure, have been commonly used when evaluating new candidate disease variants, despite not having...
