Gene Inspector Pro – Help & Support

This guide helps you understand the science behind genetic analysis and how to interpret your results in Gene Inspector Pro.

What You'll Find Here

🧬 Functional Hotspots

Discover important areas in proteins where genetic changes can affect your health:

  • Binding sites where molecules connect
  • Active sites where biological reactions happen
  • Modification sites that control protein function
  • Structural bonds that maintain protein shape

🔬 Testing Methods

Learn about different ways genetic data is collected:

🎯 Predictor Scores

Understand the computational and evolutionary signals shown for a variant:

  • REVEL, AlphaMissense, DANN, SIFT and PolyPhen-2 - predictions about possible effects of a missense change
  • GERP++ and PhyloP - evidence about how strongly a DNA position has been conserved across species

Each predictor page explains its scale, the colour bands used in Gene Inspector Pro, its limits, and the original research or official documentation. These signals support review; they do not diagnose a condition or measure a person's disease risk.

Getting Started

If you're new to genetic analysis, we recommend starting with:
