  2. Methodology article

    VarElect: the phenotype-based variation prioritizer of the GeneCards Suite

    Next generation sequencing (NGS) provides a key technology for deciphering the genetic underpinnings of human diseases. Typical NGS analyses of a patient depict tens of thousands non-reference coding variants,...

    KinMutRF: a random forest classifier of sequence variants in the human protein kinase superfamily

    The association between aberrant signal processing by protein kinases and human diseases such as cancer was established long time ago. However, understanding the link between sequence variants in the protein k...

  4. Methodology article

    Establishing and validating regulatory regions for variant annotation and expression analysis

    The regulatory effect of inherited or de novo genetic variants occurring in promoters as well as in transcribed or even coding gene regions is gaining greater recognition as a contributing factor to disease proce...

    A loss of function variant in CASP7 protects against Alzheimer’s disease in homozygous APOE ε4 allele carriers

    Alzheimer’s disease (AD) represents the most common form of dementia in elder populations with approximately 30 million cases worldwide. Genome wide genotyping and sequencing studies have identified many genet...

  6. Research article

    Large scale analysis of protein stability in OMIM disease related human protein variants

    Modern genomic techniques allow to associate several Mendelian human diseases to single residue variations in different proteins. Molecular mechanisms explaining the relationship among genotype and phenotype a...
