0

A substitution of a single DNA nucleotide for another. This results in the transcription of a different amino acid than is normally found in the protein coded by the gene. Missense mutations are found in diseases such as sickle cell anemia. Red blood cell sickling is caused by the replacement of the amino acid glutamic acid by valine in the sixth position of the beta hemoglobin chain.
