Point mutations that occur in non-coding sequences are most often without consequences, although there are exceptions. If the mutated base pair is in the promoter sequence of a gene, then the expression of the gene may change.

Point mutations involve a single nucleotide, thus a single amino acid.
In the sentence below, eliminating one letter does not change in the remaining three-letter words and therefore may not cause a significant change in the meaning of the sentence.

Point mutations are usually caused by chemicals or malfunction of DNA replication and exchange a single nucleotide for another.

The most common type of copying error is the point mutation. In this form of mutation the nucleotide at a site is replaced by a different nucleotide.

In the case of SCAP, this trafficking is regulated by SSD-dependent sensing of cholesterol levels in the membrane, point mutations in the SSD causing constitutive translocation of SREBP to the Golgi compartment (Hua et al. 1996).

Altered Am genes had numeorus point mutations. These were asymmetric with respect to DNA strand. For example, in 2.6 kbp of DNA, 158 G's on one strand were converted to A's. No C's were converted to T's on this strand.

There is evidence that the point mutations in superoxide dismutase which are associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis may contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction. There is also evidence for bioenergetic defects in Huntington's disease.

Point mutations are the result of the substitution of a single base. Frame-shift mutations occur when the reading frame of the gene is shifted by addition or deletion of one or more bases.
