Classification of Missense Mutations of Disease Genes [PDF]
Clinical management of individuals found to harbor a mutation at a known disease-susceptibility gene depends on accurate assessment of mutation-specific disease risk. For missense mutations (MMs)-mutations that lead to a single amino acid change in the protein coded by the gene-this poses a particularly challenging problem.

Missense mutations of human homeoboxes: A review [PDF]
The homeodomain (encoded by the homeobox) is the DNA-binding domain of a large variety of transcriptional regulators involved in controlling cell fate decisions and development. Mutations of homeobox-containing genes cause several diseases in humans. A variety of missense mutations giving rise to human diseases have been described.

A novel mutation in the VHL gene in a Chinese family with von Hippel-Lindau disease
Background Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant inherited cancer syndrome, and VHL is identified as a tumor suppressor gene. The main objective of this study was to identify disease-causing mutations in a Chinese family affected with ...

Phenylketonuria missense mutations in the Mediterranean
Two missense mutations have been identified in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) genes of an Italian phenylketonuria (PKU) patient. Both mutations occurred in exon 7 of the PAH gene, resulting in the substitution of Trp for Arg at amino acid 252 (R252W) and of Leu for Pro (P281L) at amino acid 281 of the protein.

Mutator phenotypes of common polymorphisms and missense mutations in MSH2 [PDF]
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is associated with germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair gene hMSH2 [1], the human homologue of the Escherichia coli MutS gene. These are mostly nonsense, frameshift or deletion mutations that result in loss of intact protein and complete inactivation of DNA mismatch repair.

Analyzing Effects of Naturally Occurring Missense Mutations [PDF]
Single-point mutation in genome, for example, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) or rare genetic mutation, is the change of a single nucleotide for another in the genome sequence. Some of them will produce an amino acid substitution in the corresponding protein sequence (missense mutations); others will not.
