Computational models have made significant progress in predicting the effect of protein variants. However, deciphering numerous variants of uncertain significance (VUS) located within intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) remains challenging. To ad...
Single nucleotide variants (SNVs) can exert substantial and extremely variable impacts on various cellular functions, making accurate predictions of their consequences challenging, albeit crucial especially in clinical settings such as in oncology. L...
The classification of missense variant pathogenicity continues to pose significant challenges in human genetics, necessitating precise predictions of functional impacts for effective disease diagnosis and personalized treatment strategies. Traditiona...
We describe the machine learning tool that we applied in the CAGI 6 experiment to predict whether single residue mutations in proteins are deleterious or benign. This tool was trained using only single sequences, i.e., without multiple sequence align...
Protein missense mutations and resulting protein stability changes are important causes for many human genetic diseases. However, the accurate prediction of stability changes due to mutations remains a challenging problem. To address this problem, we...
AlphaFold, an artificial intelligence (AI)-based tool for predicting the 3D structure of proteins, is now widely recognized for its high accuracy and versatility in the folding of human proteins. AlphaFold is useful for understanding structure-functi...
BACKGROUND: Genetic variation in the human genome is a major determinant of individual disease risk, but the vast majority of missense variants have unknown etiological effects. Here, we present a robust learning framework for leveraging saturation m...
Machine learning-based pathogenicity prediction helps interpret rare missense variants of BRCA1 and BRCA2, which are associated with hereditary cancers. Recent studies have shown that classifiers trained using variants of a specific gene or a set of ...

Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is characterized by a prolonged QT-interval on an electrocardiogram (ECG). An abnormal prolongation in the QT-interval increases the risk for fatal arrhythmias. Genetic variants in several different cardiac ion chan...
