How Do Mutations Affect Proteins?
Sometimes, gene variants (also known as mutations) prevent one or more proteins from working properly. By changing a gene’s instructions for making a protein, a variant can cause a protein to malfunction or to not be produced at all.Mar 25, 2021

The specific shape and stability of a protein’s structure depend on networks of interactions between its amino acids. These networks can be altered by various mutations (amino acid changes), which can cause protein misfolding or destabilization. “In those cases, mutations can become a basis for disease,” said Jeff W.
