Pathogenic missense protein variants affect different functional pathways and proteomic features than healthy population variants. by Anna Laddach, Joseph Chi Fung Ng, Franca Fraternali

“…By examining the association of variant enrichment with available functional pathways and transcriptomic and proteomic (protein half-life, thermal stability, abundance) data, we have mined a rich set of molecular features which distinguish between pathogenic and population variants: Pathogenic variants mainly affect proteins involved in cell proliferation and nucleotide processing and are enriched in more abundant proteins. …”
