Abstract
In this study, we propose a logistic regression model to classify deleterious missense mutation from a list of nonsynonymous SNPs (nsSNPs) – where multiple features (i.e. rank scores of 18 classifiers e.g. SIFT, PolyPhen2, MutationTaster, MutationAssessor, FATHMM, VEST 3.0, RadialSVM, LR, CADD, etc. from dbNSFP v2.5) are combined for 44,702 UniProt human polymorphisms and disease mutations (19,033 disease and 25,669 neutral). The model is trained and validated on 80% of the data (15,226 disease + 20,535 neutral nsSNPs), and tested on remaining 20% (3,807 disease + 5134 neutral nsSNPs); and finally applied to a neurodegenerative disease-specific dataset (NeuroTest) from UniProt. The ROC AUC of the model is 0.97 on test set and 0.92 on NeuroTest dataset, with an accuracy of 0.91 and 0.86, respectively. Our model outperforms SIFT, PolyPhen2, MutationTaster, MutationAssessor, and the two ensemble classifiers of dbNSFP v2.5, on both the testing sets.
