  2. Missense mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missense_mutation

    Missense mutations in the MeCP2 protein can cause Rett syndrome, otherwise known as the RTT phenotype [7]. T158M, R306C and R133C are the most common missense mutations causing RTT [7]. T158M is a mutation of an adenine being substituted for a guanine causing the threonine at amino acid position 158 being substituted with a methionine [8].

  3. Point accepted mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_accepted_mutation

    The missense mutations may be classed as point accepted mutations if the mutated protein is not rejected by natural selection. A point accepted mutation — also known as a PAM — is the replacement of a single amino acid in the primary structure of a protein with another single amino acid, which is accepted by the processes of natural selection.

  4. Point mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_mutation

    For example, if the mutation occurs in the region of the gene responsible for coding, the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein may be altered, causing a change in the function, protein localization, stability of the protein or protein complex. Many methods have been proposed to predict the effects of missense mutations on proteins.

  5. Single-nucleotide polymorphism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-nucleotide_polymorphism

    An important group of SNPs are those that corresponds to missense mutations causing amino acid change on protein level. Point mutation of particular residue can have different effect on protein function (from no effect to complete disruption its function). Usually, change in amino acids with similar size and physico-chemical properties (e.g ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Missense mRNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missense_mRNA

    Site-directed mutagenesis is a technique often employed to create knock-in and knock-out models that express missense mRNAs. For example, in knock-in studies, human orthologs are identified in model organisms to introduce missense mutations, [7] or a human gene with a substitution mutation is integrated into the genome of the model organism. [8]

  8. Mutation rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_rate

    The human germline mutation rate is approximately 0.5×10 −9 per basepair per year. [1] In genetics, the mutation rate is the frequency of new mutations in a single gene, nucleotide sequence, or organism over time. [2] Mutation rates are not constant and are not limited to a single type of mutation; there are many different types of mutations.

  9. Amino acid replacement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid_replacement

    Amino acid replacement is a change from one amino acid to a different amino acid in a protein due to point mutation in the corresponding DNA sequence. It is caused by nonsynonymous missense mutation which changes the codon sequence to code other amino acid instead of the original.
