Large-scale sequencing and genotyping techniques are allowing to scan the whole human genome providing a huge amount of genetic variation data. Single Nucleotide Variants (SNVs), which are the main cause of human genome variability, can also be responsible for the insurgence of human pathologies. The missense SNVs occurring in coding regions and resulting in single amino acid polymorphisms (SAPs)...
