In ALSoD, out of 494 mutations, there are 195 positive pathogenic mutations.
Bioinformatics Analysis
Three (3) freely available online bioinformatics tools were utilized to predict the possible effect of mutations in humans. The use of these programs help to evaluate the pathogenicity of missence mutations available in ALSoD. These are:
1. PANTHER (Protein Analysis Through Evolutionary Relationships)
Damaging: score is -5.0 or lower
Not damaging: score is higher than -5.0

2. SIFT (Sorting Intolerant From Tolerant)
Damaging: score is 0.05 or lower
Not damaging: score is higher than 0.05

3. PolyPhen (Polymorphism Phenotyping)
Damaging: score is 1.5 or higher
Not damaging: score is lower than 1.5

Results:Mutations not included in the dropdown list have no values in the prediction tools. The Pathogenic result is determined by combining the predictions of each tool and rating them in binary form. A combination producing 3 or 2 or 1 in the result column is
predicted as a 'Yes' in the pathogenic column but a 0 is 'No'.
