There are various forms of mutations that can occur in coding regions. One form is [[silent mutation]]s, in which a change in nucleotides does not result in any change in amino acid after transcription and translation.<ref name=":3">Yang, J. (2016, March 23). What are Genetic Mutation? Retrieved from <nowiki>https://www.singerinstruments.com/resource/what-are-genetic-mutation/</nowiki>.</ref> There also exist [[nonsense mutation]]s, where base alterations in the coding region code for a premature stop codon, producing a shorter final protein. [[Point mutation|Point mutations,]], or single base pair changes in the coding region, that code for different amino acids during translation, are called [[missense mutation]]s. Other types of mutations include [[frameshift mutation]]s such as [[Insertion mutation|insertions]] or [[Deletion (genetics)|deletions]].<ref name=":3" />
