Identification of deleterious synonymous variants in human genomes
MOTIVATION The prioritization and identification of disease-causing mutations is one of the most significant challenges in medical genomics. Currently available methods address this problem for non-synonymous single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and variation in promoters/enhancers; however, recent research has implicated synonymous (silent) exonic mutations in a number of disorders. RESULTS We ...
متن کاملComputational approaches for identifying deleterious nonsynonymous variants from human genomes
Identification of the causal genomic variants that alter human phenotypes, particularly those that lead to diseases, is the central goal of human genetics studies. Genome-wide studies have identified several hundreds of common variants associated with complex human diseases and traits. Despite these successes, most of the common variants only have a small individual contribution to the estimate...
متن کاملIdentification of deleterious mutations within three human genomes.
Each human carries a large number of deleterious mutations. Together, these mutations make a significant contribution to human disease. Identification of deleterious mutations within individual genome sequences could substantially impact an individual's health through personalized prevention and treatment of disease. Yet, distinguishing deleterious mutations from the massive number of nonfuncti...
متن کاملComprehensive Computational Analysis of Protein Phenotype Changes Due to Plausible Deleterious Variants of Human SPTLC1 Gene
Genetic variations found in the coding and non-coding regions of a gene are known to influence the structure as well as the function of proteins. Serine palmitoyltransferase long chain subunit 1 a member of α-oxoamine synthase family is encoded by SPTLC1 gene which is a subunit of enzyme serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT). Mutations in SPTLC1 have been associated with hereditary sensory and auto...
متن کاملIdentifying synonymous regulatory elements in vertebrate genomes
Synonymous gene regulation, defined by regulatory elements driving shared temporal and/or spatial aspects of gene expression, is most probably predicated on genomic elements that contain similar modules of certain transcription factor binding sites (TFBS). We have developed a method to scan vertebrate genomes for evolutionary conserved modules of TFBS in a predefined configuration, and created ...
