Show abstract
BackgroundGenetic polymorphisms in the HEXA gene are associated with a neurodegenerative disorder called Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) (GM2 gangliosidosis type 1). This study aimed to predict the possible pathogenic SNPs of this gene and their impact on the protein using different bioinformatics tools.\n\nMethodsSNPs retrieved from the NCBI database were analyzed using several bioinformatics tools. The different algorithms collectively predicted the effect of single nucleotide substitution on both structure and function of the hexosaminidase A protein.\n\nResultsFifty nine mutations were found to be highly damaging to the structure and function of the HEXA gene protein.\n\nConclusionAccording to this study, thirty two novel nsSNP in HEXA are predicted to have possible role in Tay-Saches Disease using different bioinformatics tools. Our findings could help in genetic study and diagnosis of Tay-Saches Disease.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
