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:

Clarifications on insertions and deletions

The impact of insertions and deletions in coding regions on chromosomes can be differently. Fatal for a protein are insertions or deletions which introduce a frame shift. This happens when the length of the insertion or deletion is not divisible by 3 without producing a rest. Or in other words: Len mod 3 != 0 . Where Len is the length of the insertion or deletion.

Methodology

Retrieving Data
Figure 1: Shows the query and result for our silent mutation search

We searched in dbSNP for silent mutations in coding regions. This means we only considered those SNPs which alter the triplet but not the amino acid.

To do so we used the Entrez interface of NCBI which is accessible under this URL:

  •  ://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=snp

The advantage of this Entrez interface is that we can construct arbitrary complex queries to restrict our result set.

We constructed the following query to search for SNPs which are considered silent in the coding regions of the human PAH gene (see figure 1):

  • "synonymous-codon"[Function_Class] AND PAH[GENE] AND "human"[ORGN] AND "snp"[SNP_CLASS]

Results of this query can be accessed directly via the following URL:

We decided to download the results as FlatFile. This seemed to be the most simple format to process and contains almost all information we need.

Processing Data

To parse the important information out of the FlatFile we downloaded in the previous step we wrote a Perl script. In the current version the following information is parsed out of the FlatFile: identifier, triplet reference/mutated, allele reference/mutated , frame of the mutation, residue reference/mutated and residue position.

All annotations we retrieved are annotated for the mRNA sequence with the GenBank accession number NM_000277.1 which contains the coding sequences of our PAH protein with the accession number NP_000268.1 which is exactly the same protein and therefore has also the same sequence as the UniProt entry for PAH with the accession number P00439. Thus, no mapping to other residue coordinates was required to map these mutations to our mutation map.

With our perl script at hand (the code is accessible here: dbSNP Silent Mutations Parser) and the results in FlatFile format, we are only missing the CDS sequence of NM_000277.1 in order to get the used triplet for each residue. This CDS sequence can be found in the CCDS database of NCBI with the accession number CCDS9092.1.

Now, with all data at hand we can run our perl script in different ways to retrieve different outputs for different purposes. Currently the following three outputs with the following commands can be generated:

  • Generates a WikiTable of found silent mutations: ./parse.pl wiki snp_result.txt ccds_pah.fasta
  • Generates CSVs which can be used by our mapping tool to generate the mutation map: ./parse.pl map snp_result.txt ccds_pah.fasta
  • Generates a human readable one liner for each silent mutation: ./parse.pl list snp_result.txt ccds_pah.fasta

Results

We could find the following silent mutations in dbSNP:

Comparing the annotation of HGMD and SNPdb

Alignment of the reference sequences

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

Alignment with the reference sequence used in HGMD

The resulting alignment shows a 100% identity without any gaps. Therefore it is a "self-alignment".
