| nonsense mutation |
A gene mutation in which a base-pair change in the DNA causes a change in an mRNA codon from an amino acid-coding codon to a chain-terminating (nonsense) codon. As a result, polypeptide chain synthesis is terminated prematurely and is therefore either nonfunctional or, at best, partially functional.
