Abstract:

With the rapid development of high-throughput sequencing technology, a large number of gene mutation sites related to disease pathogenesis have been found. Pathogenicity prediction of mutation sites can provide an important reference for follow-up functional analysis. Since 2003, a variety of software for predicting the pathogenicity of gene mutation sites has been developed and continuously improved to improve the predictive effect and accuracy. In this paper, the development and characteristics of gene sequencing technology are briefly described. Thirteen pieces of single algorithm pathogenicity prediction software and six pieces of integrated prediction software with integrated algorithm are listed. Four commonly used single algorithm prediction software (SIFT, PolyPhen-2, PROVEAN and Mutation Taster) and a prediction software with integrated algorithm (CADD) were introduced. Their operation principle and application in ophthalmology are explained in order to provide theoretical and practical reference for ophthalmologists to select and use the software for predicting the pathogenicity of gene mutation sites reasonably and effectively.

Key words: Gene mutation, Pathogenicity prediction, Bioinformatics, Ophthalmology
