Task 5: Mapping point mutations

Task description

A detailed task description can be found here: Mapping point mutations

SNP databases

HGMD

• HGMD
• Searched for PAH
• 429 Missense/Nonsense mutations known by HGMD Professional

There are several mutation types known for PAH:

• Missense/nonsense
• Splicing
• Regulatory
• Small deletions
• Small insertions
• Small indels
• Gross deletions
• Gross insertions/duplications
• Complex rearrangements

One additional category of mutation is known, but is not recorded for PAH

• Repeat variations

Reference Sequence

The reference sequence is given by the accession number NM_000277.1, whose entry contains the following amino acid sequence:

Comparing the annotation of HGMD and SNPdb

Alignment of the reference sequences

We decided to use the sequence of PAH of Uniprot (see UniProt).
