Article Title: OptiMo‐LDLr: An Integrated In Silico Model with Enhanced Predictive Power for LDL Receptor Variants, Unraveling Hot Spot Pathogenic Residues
doi: 10.1002/advs.202305177
Figure Lengend Snippet: OptiMo‐LDLr flowchart. Pathogenicity predictions of six software were applied to 669 LDLR variants with known pathogenicity obtained from ClinVar. A non‐optimized predictive model was developed using the predictions of the 6 software, and the potential pathogenicity of each residue in LDLr was calculated. Afterward, the model was optimized using ESEA algorithm to increase the accuracy of the predictions. The pathogenicity predictions of the resulting model were implemented into a user‐friendly software. The potential pathogenicity of each LDLr residue were calculated using the optimized model, and the results were displayed in a hot spot map.
Article Snippet: In addition, the public database of human genetic variants and their significance to disease (ClinVar), [ ] managed by the National Centre for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), was used as a source for gathering information related to the LDLR variants described so far.
