Abstract: Splicing is a process that occurs between transcription and translation and consists in eliminating the non-coding regions of the mRNA to produce a mature transcript. This process is necessary for the translation to be successful. Presence of point mutations that alter regulatory sequences leads to aberrant splicing, which can produce specific hereditary monogenic disorders. Mmutations that affect splicing have been classified into five types, according to the position they occupy in the DNA and according to the effect they produce on it. In this TFM, it is intended to study some of the different types of splicing predictors in silico, starting initially from 30; as well as to verify the accuracy they have to predict the effect that these mutations can produce and to classify them intro the five fixed effects. A set of 99 variants has been studied, for some the effect they produce on splicing was known, and others were obtained from a human disease database, without knowing their effect. A statistical and descriptive analysis has been performed for each of the predictors to determine the one with the highest accuracy and the problems that each one of them have. Only a few predictors give results that can be classifiable. Others cannot be extrapolated to the types of splicing studied or generate results that can lead to the conclusion of different types. As they are predictions, it is essential to validate experimentally in order to determine the true effect of these mutations on splicing.
