Packpred: Predicting the functional effect of missense mutations [PDF]
1. Abstract Predicting the functional consequences of single point mutations has relevance to protein function annotation and to clinical analysis/diagnosis. We developed and tested Packpred that makes use of a multi-body clique statistical potential in combination with a depth dependent amino acid substitution matrix ...

ThermoMutDB: a thermodynamic database for missense mutations [PDF]
Abstract Proteins are intricate, dynamic structures, and small changes in their amino acid sequences can lead to large effects on their folding, stability and dynamics. To facilitate the further development and evaluation of methods to predict these changes, we have developed ThermoMutDB, a manually curated database containing >14,

BRCA1 and BRCA2 missense variants of high and low clinical significance influence lymphoblastoid cell line post-irradiation gene expression. [PDF]
The functional consequences of missense variants in disease genes are difficult to predict. We assessed if gene expression profiles could distinguish between BRCA1 or BRCA2 pathogenic truncating and missense mutation carriers and familial breast cancer ...

Missense mutations in DYT-TOR1A dystonia [PDF]
DYT-TOR1A dystonia is caused by dominant mutations in the TOR1A gene, most frequently a heterozygous in-frame deletion in exon 5 (c.904_906delGAG; p.302/303delE).1 The most frequent phenotype has childhood onset in a limb, spreading to generalized dystonia within a few years.

Juvenile mucopolysaccharidosis plus disease caused by a missense mutation in VPS33A
A rare and fatal disease resembling mucopolysaccharidosis in infants, is caused by impaired intracellular endocytic trafficking due to deficiency of core components of the intracellular membrane-tethering protein complexes, HOPS, and CORVET.
