Genetic variants of leptin receptor gene (rs1137101) and obesity risk in prakriti individuals and its pathogenicity prediction using in silico approaches by Manoranjani Murugan, Sourav Musib, Yogesh Vetriselvan, Ilangovan Karthiga, Artchoudane Soccalingam, Melissa Shaelyn Samuel, Irisappan Ganesh, Sambandam Ravikumar

“…Additionally, the pathogenicity of the Q223R variant was evaluated using computational tools such as PANTHER, PhD-SNP, SIFT, SNAP, META-SNP, I-Mutant 2.0, MUpro, and iStable, employing sequence- and structure-based methods. Results The prevalence of the risk allele G was 50% in the obese group, compared to 38% in the normal group. …”
