Machine learning-based penetrance of genetic variants.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Accurate variant penetrance estimation is crucial for precision medicine. We constructed machine learning (ML) models for 10 diseases using 1,347,298 participants with electronic health records, then applied them to an independent cohort with linked ...

Mapping variants in thyroid hormone transporter MCT8 to disease severity by genomic, phenotypic, functional, structural and deep learning integration.

Nature communications
Predicting and quantifying phenotypic consequences of genetic variants in rare disorders is a major challenge, particularly pertinent for 'actionable' genes such as thyroid hormone transporter MCT8 (encoded by the X-linked SLC16A2 gene), where loss-o...

DeepPheno: Predicting single gene loss-of-function phenotypes using an ontology-aware hierarchical classifier.

PLoS computational biology
Predicting the phenotypes resulting from molecular perturbations is one of the key challenges in genetics. Both forward and reverse genetic screen are employed to identify the molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypes and disease, and these resulted...

SLC35A2 loss-of-function variants affect glycomic signatures, neuronal fate and network dynamics.

Brain : a journal of neurology
SLC35A2 encodes a uridine diphosphate (UDP)-galactose transporter essential for glycosylation of proteins and galactosylation of lipids and glycosaminoglycans. Germline genetic SLC35A2 variants have been identified in congenital disorders of glycosyl...

When loss-of-function is loss of function: assessing mutational signatures and impact of loss-of-function genetic variants.

Bioinformatics (Oxford, England)
MOTIVATION: Loss-of-function genetic variants are frequently associated with severe clinical phenotypes, yet many are present in the genomes of healthy individuals. The available methods to assess the impact of these variants rely primarily upon evol...
