Genetic constraint at single amino acid resolution in protein domains improves missense variant prioritisation and gene discovery.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: One of the major hurdles in clinical genetics is interpreting the clinical consequences associated with germline missense variants in humans. Recent significant advances have leveraged natural variation observed in large-scale human populations to uncover genes or genomic regions that show a depletion of natural variation, indicative of selection pressure. We refer to this as "genetic constraint"....
