Pathogenicity scores

SIFT: SIFT predicts whether an amino acid substitution affects protein function based on sequence homology and the physical properties of amino acids. It was build for missense deleteriousness prediction.

  • SIFT_SCORE: Scores range from 0 to 1. The smaller the score the more likely the SNP has damaging effect.
  • SIFT_CONVERTED_RANKSCORE: SIFT scores were first converted to SIFTnew=1-SIFT, then ranked among all new SIFTnew scores in dbNSFP. The rankscore is the ratio of the rank the SIFTnew score over the total number of SIFTnew scores in dbNSFP. If there are multiple scores, only the most damaging (largest) rankscore is presented. The rankscores range from 0.02654 to 0.87932.
  • SIFT_PRED: If SIFT score is smaller than 0.05 (rankscore>0.55) the corresponding NS is predicted as D(amaging); otherwise it is predicted as T(olerated).

Polyphen2: PolyPhen-2 (Polymorphism Phenotyping v2) is a tool for possible impact prediction of amino acid substitutions on the structure and function of human protein using straightforward physical and comparative considerations.

  • POLYPHEN2_HDIV_SCORE: Polyphen2 score based on HumDiv, i.e. hdiv_prob. The score ranges from 0 to 1.
  • Polyphen2_HDIV_rankscore: Polyphen2 HDIV scores were first ranked among all HDIV scores in dbNSFP. The rankscore is the ratio of the rank the score over the total number the scores in dbNSFP. If there are multiple scores, only the most damaging (largest) of rankscore is presented. The scores range from 0.02656 to 0.89917.
  • Polyphen2_HDIV_pred: Polyphen2 prediction based on HumDiv, D (probably damaging, HDIV score in [0.957,1] or rankscore in [0.52996,0.89917]), P (possibly damaging, HDIV score in [0.453,0.956] or rankscore in [0.34412,0.52842]) and B (benign, HDIV score in [0,0.452] or rankscore in [0.02656,0.34399]). Score cutoff for binary classification is 0.5 for HDIV score or 0.35411 for rankscore, i.e. the prediction is neutral if the HDIV score is smaller than 0.5 (rankscore is smaller than 0.35411), and deleterious if the HDIV score is larger than 0.5 (rankscore is larger than 0.35411).

MutationTaster2: Evaluates the pathogenic potential of DNA sequence alterations. It is designed to predict the functional consequences of not only amino acid substitutions but also intronic and synonymous alterations, short insertion and/or deletion (indel) mutations and variants spanning intron-exon borders.

  • MutationTaster_score: MutationTaster p-value score (MTori), ranges from 0 to 1.
  • MutationTaster_converted_rankscore: The scores were first converted: if the prediction is A or D MTnew=MTori; if the prediction is N or P, MTnew=1- MTori. Then MTnew scores were ranked among all MTnew scores in dbNSFP. The rankscore is the ratio of the rank of the score over the total number of MTnew scores in dbNSFP. The scores range from 0.09067 to 0.80722.
  • MutationTaster_pred: MutationTaster prediction, A (disease_causing_automatic), D (disease_causing), N (polymorphism) or P (polymorphism_automatic). The score cutoff between D and N is 0.5 for MTori and 0.31655 for the rankscore.

Combined Annotation Dependent Depletion (CADD): CADD is a tool for scoring the deleteriousness of single nucleotide variants as well as insertion/deletions variants in the human genome. It integrates multiple annotations into one metric by contrasting variants that survived natural selection with simulated mutations.

  • CADD_raw: CADD raw score for funtional prediction of a SNP. The larger the score the more likely the SNP has damaging effect.
  • CADD_raw_rankscore: CADD raw scores were ranked among all CADD raw scores in dbNSFP. The rankscore is the ratio of the rank of the score over the total number of CADD raw scores in dbNSFP.
  • CADD_phred: CADD phred-like score. This is phred-like rank score based on whole genome CADD raw scores. The larger the score the more likely the SNP has damaging effect. CADD score above >30, its highly pathogenic. Score >20 then its pathogenic. Between 15-20, likely pathogenic. Below <15-10, likely benign and below <10, its benign.

Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT): The likelihood ratio test (LRT) is a statistical test of the goodness-of-fit between two models. A relatively more complex model is compared to a simpler model to see if it fits a particular dataset significantly better. If so, the additional parameters of the more complex model are often used in subsequent analyses. The LRT is only valid if used to compare hierarchically nested models.

  • LRT_score: The likelihood ratio test (LRT) is a statistical test of the goodness-of-fit between two models. The original LRT two-sided p-value (LRTori), ranges from 0 to 1.
  • LRT_converted_rankscore: LRTori scores were first converted as LRTnew=1-LRTori*0.5 if Omega<1, or LRTnew=LRTori*0.5 if Omega>=1. Then LRTnew scores were ranked among all LRTnew scores in dbNSFP. The rankscore is the ratio of the rank over the total number of the scores in dbNSFP. The scores range from 0.00166 to 0.85682.
  • LRT_pred: LRT prediction, D(eleterious), N(eutral) or U(nknown), which is not solely determined by the score.

MetaSVM: Achieves the purpose of meta-analysis as jointly leveraging multiple omics data. Meta-SVM is a meta-analytic support vector machine (SVM) that can accommodate multiple omics data, making it possible to detect consensus genes associated with diseases across studies. The objective function of Meta-SVM applies the hinge loss and the sparse group lasso. It also facilitates identifying potential biomarkers and elucidating the disease process.

  • MetaSVM_score: The support vector machine (SVM) is based on ensemble prediction score, which incorporated 10 scores (SIFT, PolyPhen-2 HDIV, PolyPhen-2 HVAR, GERP++, MutationTaster, Mutation Assessor, FATHMM, LRT, SiPhy, PhyloP) and the maximum frequency observed in the 1000 genomes populations. Larger value means the SNV is more likely to be damaging. Scores range from -2 to 3 in dbNSFP.
  • MetaSVM_rankscore: MetaSVM scores were ranked among all MetaSVM scores in dbNSFP. The rankscore is the ratio of the rank of the score over the total number of MetaSVM scores in dbNSFP. The scores range from 0 to 1.
  • MetaSVM_pred: Prediction of SVM based ensemble prediction score, classifying them as T(olerated) or D(amaging). The MetaSVM_score cutoff between D and T is 0. The MetaSVM_rankscore cutoff between D and T is 0.83357.

PhastCons:

  • phastCons100way_vertebrate: phastCons conservation score based on the multiple alignments of 100 vertebrate genomes (including human). The larger the score, the more conserved the site.
  • phastCons100way_vertebrate_rankscore: phastCons100way_vertebrate scores were ranked among all phastCons100way_vertebrate scores in dbNSFP. The rankscore is the ratio of the rank of the score over the total number of phastCons100way_vertebrate scores in dbNSFP.

PON-P2: PON-P2 is a random forest predictor for pathogenicity-association of amino acid substitutions. PON-P2 makes predictions only for variations leading to amino acid substitutions.

  • POP-P2_Probability_Of_Pathogenicity: Probability estimated by PON-P2 algorithm. The higher the probability, the higher the damaging effect of the variation analysed.
  • POP-P2_Standard_Error: Standard error generated in the estimation of pathogenicity probability.
  • POP-P2_Prediction: Sorts amino acid substitutions into three categories-pathogenic, neutral or unknown tolerance. Variants with more than 80% of probability of pathogenicity were classified as pathogenic. Variants with probability between 80-20% were classified as unknown and less than 20% of probability constitute the neutral class.

Plot generation

Users can plot the results by histograms or pie graphs with pathogenicity scores or ACMG class. For its representation, users need to select the score in gene plot tab. Users can generate a combined representation of ACMG classes using the information provided by ClinVar, Intervar and Varsome, allowing the benchmark the differences in pathogenicity classification for the same variant and all submitted variation.


Download results

HADA annotation results can be downloaded after processing steps in different format files such as text file (.txt), comma separated values (.csv), tab separated values (.tsv) or variant calling file (.VCF) with the pathogenicity information for each detected variant. If a VCF format is selected for downloading, users can choose a short file describing only HAE variants detected or a large format with all variants calls and annotated for HAE variants.

What is HADA?

HADA (Hereditary Angioedema Database Annotation) is a publicity available database which reports and annotate the variation described in Hereditary Angioedema (hereafter namely as HAE) scientific literature. Through steps of analysing and processing the genetic variation in several pathogenicity prediction tools, we develop an update database for HAE variation. This database is constructed in Shiny (R) environment for graphical interface creation for clinician easy use.

With this tool, users can upload a Variant Calling File or a list of doubt causal variation for HAE and obtain the pathogenicity prediction provided by several algorithms such as SIFT, POLYPHEN2, MUTATIONTASTER, etc, as well as obtain the pathogenicity classification established by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG).

HADA is a project created by efforts of the Instituto Tecnológico y de Energías Renovables (ITER, Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies) and the Servicio Canario de la Salud (Canarian Health Service). Both entities are based in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain. This Shiny App runs on ITER’s Teide-HPC, which is the second most powerful computer in Spain at present.

Users can find instructions for HADA usage in the User Guide tab. If you are interested in a command-line format annotation, please see our HADA GitHub (https://github.com/genomicsITER/HADA). Changes and updates in both formats will be indicate in corresponding changelogs.
