Protein Science, Volume 34, Issue 6, June 2025.Abstract The complex genotype‐to‐phenotype relationships in Mendelian diseases can be elucidated by mutation‐induced disturbances to the networks of molecular interactions (interactomes) in human cells. Missense and nonsense mutations cause distinct perturbations within the human protein interactome, leading to functional and phenotypic effects with ...
