Gene-specific application of computational prediction tools aids the classification of rare missense variants in the diagnosis of hereditary endocrine tumour syndromes

Trip Ilse , McClean Joanne , Goudie David , Newey Paul

Introduction: The successful implementation of clinical genetic testing relies on accurate variant interpretation, as misclassification can result in significant harm to the patient and wider family. Missense single nucleotide variants (SNVs) pose a particular challenge, with current interpretation methods often unable to differentiate pathogenic variants from rare neutral variants, resulting in high numbers of variants of uncertain significance (VUS), and diagnostic uncertain...
