  2. Frameshift mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frameshift_mutation

    A frameshift mutation can drastically change the coding capacity (genetic information) of the message. [1] Small insertions or deletions (those less than 20 base pairs) make up 24% of mutations that manifest in currently recognized genetic disease. [10] Frameshift mutations are found to be more common in repeat regions of DNA.

  3. Missense mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missense_mutation

    Missense mutation is a type of nonsynonymous substitution in a DNA sequence. Two other types of nonsynonymous substitution are the nonsense mutations, in which a codon is changed to a premature stop codon that results in truncation of the resulting protein, and the nonstop mutations, in which a stop codon erasement results in a longer ...

  4. Protein-truncating variants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein-truncating_variants

    Protein-truncating variants (PTVs) are genetic variants predicted to shorten the coding sequence of genes, [1] through ways like a stop-gain mutation. [2] [3] [4] [5 ...

  5. Nonsynonymous substitution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonsynonymous_substitution

    Nonsense mutations are nonsynonymous substitutions that arise when a mutation in the DNA sequence causes a protein to terminate prematurely by changing the original amino acid to a stop codon. Another type of mutation that deals with stop codons is known as a nonstop mutation or readthrough mutation, which occurs when a stop codon is exchanged ...

  6. Point mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_mutation

    Frame-shift mutations are also possible in start-gain mutations, but typically do not affect translation of the original protein. Start-loss is a point mutation in a transcript's AUG start codon, resulting in the reduction or elimination of protein production. Missense mutations code for a different amino acid.

  7. D-bifunctional protein deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-bifunctional_protein...

    The missense mutation G16S is the most common mutation that leads to D-BP deficiency. In a 2006 study in which 110 patients were tested, 28 had this frameshift mutation. The second most frequent mutation was the missense mutation N457Y which was seen in 13 of the 110 patients.

  8. Insertion (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insertion_(genetics)

    Frameshift mutations will alter all the amino acids encoded by the gene following the mutation. Usually, insertions and the subsequent frameshift mutation will cause the active translation of the gene to encounter a premature stop codon , resulting in an end to translation and the production of a truncated protein.

  9. Mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation

    A frameshift mutation is caused by insertion or deletion of a number of nucleotides that is ... if a missense mutation occurs in an amino acid codon that results in ...
