Abstract

Summary: Missense mutations that change protein stability are strongly associated with human inherited genetic disease. With the recent availability of predicted structures for all human proteins generated using the AlphaFold2 prediction model, genome-wide assessment of the stability effects of genetic variation can, for the first time, be easily performed. This facilitates the interrogation of personal genetic variation for potentially pathogenic effects through the application of stability metrics. Here, we present a novel algorithm to prioritise variants predicted to strongly destabilise essential proteins, available as both a standalone software package and a web-based tool. We demonstrate the utility of this tool by showing that at values of the Stability Sort Z-score above 1.6, pathogenic, protein-destabilising variants from ClinVar are detected at a 58% enrichment, over and above the destabilising (but presumably non-pathogenic) variation already present in the HapMap NA12878 genome. Availability and Implementation: StabilitySort is available as both a web service ( http://130.56.244.113/StabilitySort/ ) and can be deployed as a standalone system ( https://gitlab.com/baaron/StabilitySort ).

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.
