A nonsense mutation is a mutation that changes an amino acid codon to one of the three stop codons, resulting in a shorter and usually nonfunctional protein.
La mutazione nonsenso è una mutazione che cambia un codone di amminoacido in uno dei tre codoni di stop, con conseguente proteina più corta e solitamente non funzionale.
