Nonsense mutation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In genetics, a nonsense mutation is a point mutation in a sequence of DNA that results in a premature stop codon, or a nonsense codon in the transcribed mRNA, and in a truncated, incomplete, and u...

With a nonsense mutation, the new nucleotide changes a codon that specified an amino acid to one of the STOP codons (TAA, TAG, or TGA). Therefore, translation of the messenger RNA transcribed from this mutant gene will stop prematurely.

A novel autosomal recessive mutation arose spontaneously in a breeding colony of Chinese Kunming mice. ... Sequencing the complete cDNA of the hairless gene identified two polymorphisms and a homozygous transition for a G --> A at nucleotide position 3110 (exon 12) leading to the substitution of tryptophan by a nonsense codon,

Brief and Straightforward Guide: What Is a Nonsense Mutation? ... A nonsense mutation is a single base substitution, or point mutation. When a nonsense mutation occurs, only one base is changed in the DNA strand.

In fact, it is fair to say that, without mutation, life itself could not exist. In this lecture we will broadly discuss mechanisms by which ... Though nonsense mutations tend to be the product of point mutations, it is worth noting that frameshift mutations also tend to lead to the creation of multiple stop codons.
