Abstract:Background: Genetic polymorphisms in the ADAMTS13 gene are associated with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura or TTP, a life-threatening microangiopathic disorder. This study aims to predict the possible pathogenic SNPs of this gene and their impact on the protein structure and function using insilico methods. Methods: SNPs retrieved from the NCBI database were analyzed using several bioinformatics tools. The different algorithms applied collectively to predictthe effect of single nucleotide substitution on b… Show more
