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.

Computational insights of K1444N substitution in GAP-related domain of NF1 gene associated with neurofibromatosis type 1 disease: a molecular modeling and dynamics approach

TL;DR: Evidence of the benefits of the computational tools in predicting the pathogenicity of genetic mutations is provided and the application of MDS and different in silico prediction tools for variant assessment and classification in genetic clinics is suggested.

Comprehensive in silico screening and molecular dynamics studies of missense mutations in Sjogren-Larsson syndrome associated with the ALDH3A2 gene.

TL;DR: The computational pipeline provided in this study helps to elucidate the potential structural and functional differences between the ALDH3A2 native and mutant homodimeric proteins, and will pave the way for drug discovery against specific targets in the SLS patients.

In silico analysis of consequences of non-synonymous SNPs of Slc11a2 gene in Indian bovines.

TL;DR: Five non-synonymous SNPs in Slc11a2 gene were identified as deleterious while tested out for polar interactions with other amino acids in the protein, and from above 5, Y374C, Q385H and N492S showed a change in interaction pattern and were confirmed by an increase in total energy after energy minimizations in case of mutant protein compared to the native.

Screening and Evaluation of Deleterious SNPs in APOE Gene of Alzheimer's Disease.

TL;DR: Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are found to be potentially functional polymorphic associated with APOE gene, namely, rs11542041, rs 11542040, and rs11 542034, which are concluded that are deleterious nsSNPs.

Functional genomics based prioritization of potential nsSNPs in EPHX1, GSTT1, GSTM1 and GSTP1 genes for breast cancer susceptibility studies.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the 6 identified nsSNPs may alter the detoxification process and elevate carcinogenic metabolite accumulation thus modifies the risk of breast cancer susceptibility in a group of women.

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.
