In silico methods for predicting functional synonymous variants

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2023
Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) contribute to human genomic diversity. Synonymous SNVs are previously considered to be “silent,” but mounting evidence has revealed that these variants can cause RNA and protein changes and are implicated in over 85 ...

Characterization of Synonymous BRCA1:c.132C>T as a Pathogenic Variant [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
Breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) and BRCA2 are tumor suppressors involved in DNA damage response and repair. Carriers of germline pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in BRCA1 or BRCA2 have significantly increased lifetime risks of breast cancer, ovarian

Characterization of coding synonymous and non-synonymous variants in ADAMTS13 using ex vivo and in silico approaches. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Synonymous variations, which are defined as codon substitutions that do not change the encoded amino acid, were previously thought to have no effect on the properties of the synthesized protein(s).

A Comprehensive Analysis and Splicing Characterization of Naturally Occurring Synonymous Variants in the ATP7B Gene

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Next-generation sequencing is effective for the molecular diagnosis of genetic diseases. However, the identification of the clinical significance of synonymous variants remains a challenge. Our previous study showed that some synonymous variants in ATP7B

Pathogenic evaluation of synonymous COL4A5 variants in X‐linked Alport syndrome using a minigene assay

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background X‐linked Alport syndrome (XLAS) is a progressive, hereditary glomerular nephritis of variable severity caused by pathogenic COL4A5 variants. Currently, genetic testing is widely used for diagnosing XLAS; however, determining the pathogenicity ...
