Identification of functional SNPs in BARD1 gene and in silico analysis of damaging SNPs: based on data procured from dbSNP database.

PloS one | 2012

The BARD1 gene encodes for the BRCA1-associated RING domain (BARD1) protein. Germ line and somatic mutations in BARD1 are found in sporadic breast, ovarian and uterine cancers. There is a plethora of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) which may or may not be involved in the onset of female cancers. Hence, before planning a larger population study, it is advisable to sort out the possible functional SNPs. To accomplish this goal, data available in the dbSNP database and different computer programs can be used. To the best of our knowledge, until now there has been no such study on record for the BARD1 gene. Therefore, this study was undertaken to find the functional nsSNPs in BARD1.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


dbSNP (tool)

RRID:SCR_002338

Database as central repository for both single base nucleotide substitutions and short deletion and insertion polymorphisms. Distinguishes report of how to assay SNP from use of that SNP with individuals and populations. This separation simplifies some issues of data representation. However, these initial reports describing how to assay SNP will often be accompanied by SNP experiments measuring allele occurrence in individuals and populations. Community can contribute to this resource.

FastSNP (tool)

RRID:SCR_003140

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on August 9, 2016. A web server that allows users to efficiently identify and prioritize high-risk SNPs according to their phenotypic risks and putative functional effects. A unique feature is that the functional effect information used for SNP prioritization is always up-to-date, because FASTSNP extracts the information from 11 external web servers at query time using a team of web wrapper agents. Moreover, FASTSNP is extendable by deploying more Web wrapper agents. FASTSNP provides three options for users to submit requests. If users already have some candidate SNPs on a candidate gene, they may use Query by Candidate Gene to select the specific SNPs on the gene to perform prioritization. If users have a specified SNP or a list of SNP rsid's needs to be prioritized, they can use Query by SNP option and upload the SNP list in an Excel-format file. Finally, if users have a novel SNP sequence, FASTSNP provides Novel SNP analysis. FASTSNP will generate a SNP Function Report for each SNP. Users can export SNP data to an excel file for further genotyping processes. Other features of FASTSNP include SNP quality checking and haplotype LD information.

PROSITE (tool)

RRID:SCR_003457

Database of protein families and domains that is based on the observation that, while there is a huge number of different proteins, most of them can be grouped, on the basis of similarities in their sequences, into a limited number of families. Proteins or protein domains belonging to a particular family generally share functional attributes and are derived from a common ancestor. It is complemented by ProRule, a collection of rules based on profiles and patterns, which increases the discriminatory power of profiles and patterns by providing additional information about functionally and/or structurally critical amino acids. ScanProsite finds matches of your protein sequences to PROSITE signatures. PROSITE currently contains patterns and profiles specific for more than a thousand protein families or domains. Each of these signatures comes with documentation providing background information on the structure and function of these proteins. The database is available via FTP.

NCBI (tool)

RRID:SCR_006472

A portal to biomedical and genomic information. NCBI creates public databases, conducts research in computational biology, develops software tools for analyzing genome data, and disseminates biomedical information for the better understanding of molecular processes affecting human health and disease.

PDBsum (tool)

RRID:SCR_006511

Pictorial database of an at-a-glance overview of the contents of each 3D structure deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB). It shows the molecule(s) that make up the structure (ie protein chains, DNA, ligands and metal ions) and schematic diagrams of their interactions. Extensive use is made of the freely available RasMol molecular graphics program to view the molecules and their interactions in 3D. Entries are accessed either by their 4-character PDB code, or by one of the two search boxes provided on the PDBsum home page: text search or sequence search. The information given on each PDBsum entry is spread across several pages, as listed below and accessible from the tabs at the top of the page. Only the relevant tabs will be present on any given page. * Top page - summary information including thumbnail image of structure, molecules in structure, enzyme reaction diagram (where relevant), GO functional assignments, and selected figures from key reference * Protein - wiring diagram, topology diagram(s) by CATH domain, and residue conservation (where available) * DNA/RNA - DNA/RNA sequence and NUCPLOT showing interactions made with protein * Ligands - description of bound molecule and LIGPLOT showing interactions made with protein * Prot-prot - schematic diagrams of any protein-protein interfaces and the residue-residue interactions made across them * Clefts - listing of top ten clefts in the surface of the protein, listed by volume with any bound ligands shown * Links - links to external databases Additionally, it accepts users'''' own PDB format files and generates a private set of analyses for each uploaded structure.

SIFT (tool)

RRID:SCR_012813

Data analysis service to predict whether an amino acid substitution affects protein function based on sequence homology and the physical properties of amino acids. SIFT can be applied to naturally occurring nonsynonymous polymorphisms and laboratory-induced missense mutations. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software) Web service is also available.
