Accurately predicting the effect of genetic variants is crucial for clinicians as it accelerates the diagnosis of patients with missense variants associated with health problems. Many computational tools have been developed to predict the pathogenicity of genetic variants with various approaches. Analysing the performance of these different computational tools is crucial to provide guidance to both future users and especially clinicians. In this study, a large-scale investigation of 65 tools was conducted. Variants from both clinical and functional contexts were used, incorporating data from the ClinVar database and bibliographic sources. The analysis showed that AlphaMissense often performed very well and was in fact one of the best options among the existing tools. In addition, as expected, meta-predictors perform well on average. Tools using evolutionary information showed the best performance for functional variants. These results also highlighted some heterogeneity in the difficulty of predicting some specific variants while others are always well categorized. Strikingly, the majority of variants from the ClinVar database appear to be easy to predict, while variants from other sources of data are more challenging. This raises questions about the use of ClinVar and the dataset used to validate tools accuracy. In addition, these results show that this variant predictability can be divided into three distinct classes: easy, moderate and hard to predict. We analyzed the parameters leading to these differences and showed that the classes are related to structural and functional information.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":12521,"journal":{"name":"Genomics","volume":"117 3","pages":"Article 111036"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143687959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Estradiol (E2) administration can catalyze transformation from male to pseudo-female (PF), during which m6A RNA methylation undergoes considerable alterations. Nevertheless, the function of m6A methylation, specifically, the methyltransferase 14, N6-adenosine-methyltransferase non-catalytic subunit gene (<em>METTL14</em>) during this sex reversal process remains unclear. Within this study, we characterized the <em>METTL14</em> gene, which was predominantly expressed within the ovary and demonstrated notable expression in PF individuals. Interference of <em>METTL14</em> results in altered expression of methylation-related genes, yielding elevated <em>RSPO1</em> expression and diminished <em>AMH</em> expression. Administration of E2 and <em>METTL14</em>-RNAi elicits 7994 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) during sexual differentiation, and KEGG enrichment analysis highlighted that <em>METTL14</em> profoundly affects embryonic development through pathways including steroid hormone biosynthesis, ovarian steroidogenesis, tryptophan metabolism, and Glycolysis/Gluconeogenesis. Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) indicated that METTL14-RNAi triggers reduced expression of steroid hormone biosynthesis and ovarian steroidogenesis pathways while increasing the PPAR signaling pathway. In conclusion, METTL14-RNAi results in significant up-regulation of <em>RSPO1</em> and down-regulation of <em>AMH</em>, inducing substantial alterations in pathways associated with hormone and metabolism.
