Predicting the most deleterious non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs) of HRAS gene and in silico evaluation of their structural and functional consequences towards diagnosis and prognosis of cancer
Abstract:Harvey rat sarcoma (HRAS) protooncogene belongs to the RAS family and is one of the pathogenic genes that cause cancer. Deleterious nsSNPs might have adverse consequences at the protein level. This study aimed to investigate deleterious nsSNPs in the HRAS gene in predicting structural alterations associated with mutants that disrupt normal protein-protein interactions. Functional and structural analysis was em[loyed in analysing the HRAS nsSNPs. Putative post-translational modification sites and the changes in… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
