Disease | Protein | Comments | Ref. |
Alkaptonuria | Homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase | Combining a variety of computational approaches gave rise to the most accurate predictions | [62] |
Apparent mineralocorticoid excess | 11βHSD2 | The predicted degree of structural change in the enzyme correlates with disease severity | [63] |
Fabry disease | GLA | A purpose built program designed to detect protein instability outperformed existing, generic tools | [64] |
Fabry disease | GLA | A purpose built web interface allows prediction of a patient’s responsiveness to pharmacological chaperone therapy | [65] |
Gaucher disease | GBA | Slightly different results were obtained with different programs; however, 22 out of 47 variants were predicted to be harmful by all seven programs used | [28] |
Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency | G6PDH | A combination of prediction tools suggested that protein stability is an important factor in this disease; novel potentially disease-associated variants were identified | [66] |
Hyperargininemia | ARG1 | Mutations affect residues in the active site, or protein stability, or quaternary structure | [67] |
MODY 2 | GCK | Variations which decrease protein stability and/or occur in highly conserved regions of the protein are associated with disease | [68] |
Niemann-pick disease type C | NPC1 and NPC2 | The majority of disease-associated variants were predicted to be less stable than wild-type | [69] |
Phenylketonuria | PAH | Protein stability predicted to be most important factor in disease causation | [10] |
Pyruvate kinase deficiency | PK1 and PK2 | A combination of prediction tools suggested that protein stability is an important factor in this disease; novel potentially disease-associated variants were identified | [66] |
Type I galactosemia | GALT | Main predicted effect is the loss of stability of GALT | [70] |
Type III galactosemia | GALE | Effects on protein stability and degree of sequence conservation combined were required for good predictions | [71] |
