Insulin gene mutations affect the structure of insulin and are considered a leading cause of neonatal diabetes and permanent neonatal diabetes mellitus PNDM. These mutations can affect the production and secretion of insulin, resulting in inadequate insulin levels and subsequent hyperglycemia. Early discovery or prediction of PNDM can aid in better management and treatment. The current study identified potential deleterious non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms nsSNPs in the INS gene. The analysis of the nsSNPs in the INS gene was conducted using bioinformatics tools by implementing computational algorithms including SIFT, PolyPhen2, SNAP2, SNPs & GO, PhD-SNP, MutPred2, I-Mutant, MuPro, and HOPE tools to investigate the prediction of the potential association between nsSNPs in the INS gene and PNDM...
