A nucleotide substitution that does not result in an amino acid substitution in the translation product, because of the redundancy of the genetic code.
A mutation in a codon that does not cause a change in the amino acid sequence of the translation product.
A change in a DNA sequence that has no effect on the expression or functioning of any gene or gene product.
Substitution of a single DNA base that produces no change in the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein.
Mutation in coding sequence that does not alter amino acid sequence
A type of mutation that changes a codon but does not alter the amino acid encoded. Such mutations may still have effects on mRNA splicing or stability.
Mutation that results in an unchanged amino acid sequence and thus in a protein with normal function.
Mutation in which the function of the protein product of the gene is unaltered.
Silent mutations are DNA mutations that do not result in a change to the amino acid sequence of a protein. They may occur in a non-coding region (outside of a gene or within an intron), or they may occur within an exon in a manner that does not alter the final amino acid sequence. The phrase silent mutation is often used interchangeably with the phrase synonymous mutation; however, synonymous mutations are a subcategory of the former, occurring only within exons.
