Abstract

Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common type of genetic variation in people. SNPs are valuable resource for exploring the genetic basis of disease. The XPA gene provides a way to produce a protein used to repair damaged DNA. This study used the computational methods to classify SNPs and estimate their probability of being neutral or deleterious. The purpose of this analysis is to predict the effect of nsSNPs on the structure and function of XPA proteins. Data was collected from the NCBI hosted dbSNP. The authors examined the pathogenic effect of 194 nsSNPs in the XPA gene with computational tools. Four nsSNPs (C126S, C126W, R158S, and R227Q) those potentially effect on structure and function of the XPA protein were identified with combination of SIFT, PolyPhen, Provean, PHD-SNP, I-Mutant, ConSurf server and Project HOPE. This is the first comprehensive analysis in which XPA gene variants studied using in silico methods and this research able to gain further insight into XPA protein variants and function.
