Abstract excerpt
Variant interpretation remains a major challenge in medical genetics. We developed Meta-Domain HotSpot (MDHS) to identify mutational hotspots across homologous protein domains. We applied MDHS to a dataset of 45,221 de novo mutations (DNMs) from 31,058 individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and identified three significantly enriched missense DNM hotspots in the ion transport protein domain family...
