Point mutation

Replacement, insertion, or deletion of a single DNA or RNA nucleotide

A point mutation is a genetic mutation where a single nucleotide base is changed, inserted or deleted from a DNA or RNA sequence of an organism's genome. Point mutations have a variety of effects on the downstream protein product—consequences that are moderately predictable based upon the specifics of the mutation. These consequences can range from no effect to deleterious effects, with regard to protein production, composition, and function.
