Calculating and comparing codon usage values in rare disease genes highlights codon clustering with disease-and tissue- specific hierarchy.

We designed a novel strategy to define codon usage bias (CUB) in 6 specific small cohorts of human genes.We calculated codon usage (CU) values in 29 non-disease-causing (NDC) and 31 disease-causing (DC) human genes which are highly expressed in 3 distinct tissues, kidney, muscle, and skin.We applied our strategy to the same selected genes annotated
