Identification and in silico analysis of functional SNPs of the BRCA1 gene.

TLDR
It is proposed that an nsSNP (rs1800751) could be an important candidate for the breast cancer caused by the BRCA1 gene from a comparison of the stabilizing residues of the native and mutant proteins.

The BRCA1 c.5434C→G (p.Pro1812Ala) variant induces a deleterious exon 23 skipping by affecting exonic splicing regulatory elements

TL;DR: The classification of BRCA1 c.5434C→G as a pathogenic splicing mutation is argued and results suggest that UVs in highly conserved nucleotide sequences of short exons may be good candidates for detecting functionally relevant splicing regulatory elements.

Computational approach to unravel the impact of missense mutations of proteins (D2HGDH and IDH2) causing D-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria 2

TL;DR: In this study, six mutations in the D2HGDH and IDH2 proteins were studied and results revealed the mutation R140Q to be more destabilizing (higher RMSD values, decrease in compactness and number of intramolecular hydrogen bonds) compared to the mutations R140G of the IDH 2 protein.

A yeast recombination assay to characterize human BRCA1 missense variants of unknown pathological significance

TL;DR: Results clearly showed that this genetic system can be useful to discriminate between neutral and deleterious BRCA1 missense variants.

Computational and structural investigation of deleterious functional SNPs in breast cancer BRCA2 gene.

TL;DR: It is proposed that this most deleterious nsSNP with an SNPid rs28897759 is an important candidate for the cause of breast cancer by BRCA2 gene.

BRCA2 mutations and triple-negative breast cancer.

TL;DR: Although the study group was small, results point to BRCA2 mutations being important in TNBC.

dbSNP: the NCBI database of genetic variation

TL;DR: The dbSNP database is a general catalog of genome variation to address the large-scale sampling designs required by association studies, gene mapping and evolutionary biology, and is integrated with other sources of information at NCBI such as GenBank, PubMed, LocusLink and the Human Genome Project data.

SIFT: predicting amino acid changes that affect protein function

TL;DR: SIFT is a program that predicts whether an amino acid substitution affects protein function so that users can prioritize substitutions for further study and can distinguish between functionally neutral and deleterious amino acid changes in mutagenesis studies and on human polymorphisms.

Estrogen Resistance Caused by a Mutation in the Estrogen-Receptor Gene in a Man

TL;DR: Disruption of the estrogen receptor in humans need not be lethal and is important for bone maturation and mineralization in men as well as women.

Predicting Deleterious Amino Acid Substitutions

TL;DR: A tool that uses sequence homology to predict whether a substitution affects protein function is constructed, which may be used to identify plausible disease candidates among the SNPs that cause missense substitutions.
