1st-of-its-kind database reveals how DNA mutations 'destabilize' proteins, triggering genetic disease

Summary

Nutrition label

75% Informative

The human genome carries instructions for at least 20,000 proteins, which are essential for nearly all physiological processes.

"Missense" mutations are known to cause genetic diseases, such as Huntington 's disease and cystic fibrosis.

Without this understanding, it is tricky to develop targeted treatments for genetic disorders without altering the genome.
