In the rapidly advancing field of bioinformatics, the development and application of computational tools to predict the effects of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) are shedding light on the molecular mechanisms underlying disorders. Also, they hold promise for guiding therapeutic interventions and personalized medicine strategies in the future. A comprehensive understanding of the impact of SNVs in the gene on alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) protein structure and function requires integrating bioinformatic approaches. Here, we provide a guide for clinicians to navigate through the field of computational analyses which can be applied to describe a novel genetic variant. Predicting the clinical significance of variation allows clinicians to tailor treatment options for individuals with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) and related conditions, ultimately improving the patient's outcome and quality of life. This paper explores the various bioinformatic methodologies and cutting-edge approaches dedicated to the assessment of molecular variants of genes and their product proteins using and AAT as an example.
