Gene Mutationbase-pair mutation Nucleotide Substitutions (point mutations) Deletions Insertions
Gene Mutationbase-pair mutation Nucleotide Substitutions (point mutations) silent mutations missense mutations (amino acid substitutions) nonsense mutations (premature stop codons) RNA processing mutations Regulatory mutations
Gene Mutationbase-pair mutation Deletions and Insertions • small number of bases is not a multiple of 3, cause frameshift is a multiple of 3, cause loss or gain of codons • larger gene deletions, inversions, fusions • insertion of L1 or Alu element • dynamic mutations – triplet expansion
