same-sense mutation
same-sense mutation
A phenotypically silent DNA mutation caused by a point mutation that gives rise to a different codon, which is transcribed as a “synonymous” codon, and the same amino acid is incorporated into the growing polypeptide as would have been incorporated by the original, non-mutated codon; the protein remains unchanged.Segen's Medical Dictionary. © 2012 Farlex, Inc.
