TLDR
This article surveys and compares variation databases and in silico prediction programs that assess the effects of CVs on protein function and introduces a combinatorial approach that uses machine learning algorithms to improve prediction performance.Abstract:
A multitude of protein-coding sequence variations (CVs) in the human genome have been revealed as a result of major initiatives, including the Human Variome Project, the 1000 Genomes Project, and the International Cancer Genome Consortium. This naturally has led to debate over how to accurately assess the functional consequences of CVs, because predicting the functional effects of CVs and their relevance to disease phenotypes is becoming increasingly important. This article surveys and compares variation databases and in silico prediction programs that assess the effects of CVs on protein function. We also introduce a combinatorial approach that uses machine learning algorithms to improve prediction performance.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the potential functional consequences of non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms are analyzed using a structural model and phylogenetic information to derive a selection of structure and sequence-based features serving as indicators of an amino acid polymorphim's effect on function.

TL;DR: It is found that Mendelian disease cSNPs have a very strong tendency to occur at highly conserved amino acid positions in proteins, suggesting that they generally have a severe impact on the function of the protein.

SNAP predicts effect of mutations on protein function
TL;DR: A publicly available server implementation of the method SNAP (screening for non-acceptable polymorphisms) that predicts the functional effects of single amino acid substitutions and is associated with a reliability index that correlates with accuracy and thereby enables experimentalists to zoom into the most promising predictions.
