Mutation Nomenclature |
In the last few years, the number of mutation reports in the literature has been greatly increasing. Along with this comes the need to describe these mutations in a consistent, accurate and uniform way. A number of attempts have been made to standardise nomenclature. Links to literature on the subject can be found below.
