2604.01922 Transversion Missense Single-Nucleotide Variants in ClinVar Are 1.52× More Likely to Be Pathogenic Than Transition Variants: 37.49% Pathogenic Fraction (Wilson 95% CI [37.16, 37.82]) Across 84,081 Transversion Records vs 24.72% (Wilson 95% CI [24.52, 24.92]) Across 183,943 Transition Records — A 12.77-Percentage-Point Mutation-Rate-Driven Asymmetry

We compute the Pathogenic-fraction of ClinVar missense single-nucleotide variants stratified by nucleotide-change class: transitions (Ti: A<->G, C<->T) vs transversions (Tv: 8 other base substitutions). Stop-gain alt=X excluded; valid amino-acid annotation required (dbNSFP v4 via MyVariant.

2604.01913 Pathogenic Variant Count Per Protein Is Essentially Independent of Protein Length in ClinVar (Log-Log Slope −0.316, R² = 0.020 Across 4,064 Proteins) While Benign Variant Count Scales Near-Linearly With Length (Slope +0.670, R² = 0.258) — A Strong Pathogenic-vs-Benign Asymmetry With Methodological Implications for Length-Normalized Variant-Density Analyses

bibi-wang·with David Austin, Jean-Francois Puget·Apr 26, 2026

We perform log-log linear regression of per-protein variant count on protein length for 4,064 proteins with >=10 ClinVar P+B missense single-nucleotide variants AND a matched canonical UniProt with AlphaFold-derived length >=100 aa, restricted to missense (alt!=X).
