A gene is a DNA sequence that can be transcribed into an RNA molecule and transferred to offspring organisms. Changes in DNA sequences that determine the structure and function of a gene are called mutations. Gene Mutations: Causes and Effects opens by exploring the physical, chemical, and biological agents that cause mutations interact with DNA, leading to genetic instability. Recent advances in next-generation sequencing have led to the discovery of new causative genes or those mutations. The authors describe the phenotypes and gene mutations, discussing genotype-phenotype correlations...
