In silico prioritisation of EDN1 missense variants identifies mature endothelin-1 substitutions with predicted receptor-binding effects.

Abstract excerpt

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) plays a major role in endothelial function and early vascular ageing (EVA). Although regulatory EDN1 variations have been investigated, it is unclear how missense mutations in the mature ET-1 peptide impact endothelin receptor binding. In this study, we aim to present a systematic in-silico prioritisation framework for EDN1 missense variants and generate structure-based hypotheses for...
