• gain-of-glycosylation mutations
  17 July 2007

  Disease-causing missense (and other in-frame) mutations can exert their deleterious effects at the cellular level through multiple mechanisms.
  A pathogenic mechanism involves the addition of a novel N-linked glycan. Up to 1.4% of known disease-causing missense mutations are predicted to give rise to gains-of-glycosylation.
  For some of these mutations, the novel glycans have been shown to be both necessary and sufficient to account for the deleterious impact of the mutation.

• missense mutations
  14 October 2003

  Disease-causing missense (and other in-frame) mutations can exert their deleterious effects at the cellular level through multiple mechanisms.
  The deleterious effects of missense mutations are commonly attributed to their impact on primary amino acid sequence and protein structure.
  Exonic splicing enhancers
  Some missense mutations are deleterious because they disturb cis-acting splicing elements-so-called "exonic splicing enhancers" (ESEs).
