What Types of Mutations Occur in Non-Coding Regions?
Mutations in non-coding regions can vary widely. These include: - Point mutations in regulatory elements, which can disrupt the binding of transcription factors. - Insertions and deletions (indels) that can alter the structure of regulatory regions. - Copy number variations (CNVs) that can affect the dosage of regulatory elements. - Translocations, where segments of DNA are rearranged, potentially disrupting regulatory regions.
