    Glossary Nonsense Mutation

    change in DNA introduces a premature stop codon

    A nonsense mutation, also known as a premature stop codon or termination mutation, is a change in the DNA sequence that introduces a stop codon where there shouldn't be one. This causes the protein synthesis process to halt prematurely, resulting in a truncated and usually nonfunctional protein. This type of mutation can lead to various genetic disorders, including some forms of alopecia, by disrupting the normal function of essential proteins.
