Abstract

We report the structure-based pathogenicity relationship identifier (SPRI), a novel computational tool for accurate evaluation of pathological effects of missense single mutations and prediction of higher-order spatially organized units of mutational clusters. SPRI can effectively extract properties determining pathogenicity encoded in protein structures, and can identify deleterious missense mutations of germ line origin associated with Mendelian diseases, as well as mutations of somatic origin associated with cancer drivers. It compares favorably to other methods in predicting deleterious mutations. Furthermore, SPRI can discover spatially organized pathogenic higher-order spatial clusters (patHOS) of deleterious mutations, including those of low recurrence, and can be used for discovery of candidate cancer driver genes and driver mutations. We further demonstrate that SPRI can take advantage of AlphaFold2 predicted structures and can be deployed for saturation mutation analysis of the whole human proteome.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
