The phrase "a consequence of mutations" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the effects or results that arise from genetic mutations in biological contexts.
Example: "The development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria is often seen as a consequence of mutations that occur during replication."
Alternatives: "an effect of mutations" or "a result of mutations".
Ras proteins are constitutively activated in 30% of human tumors, including lung cancer tumors, as a consequence of mutations in ras genes.
Deregulations of kinases as a consequence of mutations as well as over- or underexpression can cause abnormal changes in cellular signaling and, as a consequence, have implications for the progression of diseases such as cancer, diabetes and inflammation [1].
The heterogeneous nature of prostate cancer may be a consequence of mutations in different cell types (basal stem, transit amplifying or luminal cells) resulting in different malignant maturation pathways.
Although aberrant splicing has been shown to be a consequence of mutations or the abnormal expression of splicing factors (trans-effect changes) or mutations in the splicing sequences (cis-effect mutations), the connections between aberrant splicing and cancer initiation or progression are still not well understood.
However, the dysregulation of TFE3 or TFEB as a consequence of mutations in other tumor suppressor genes has not been reported.
Also, the occurrence of hypermutators among Argentinean CF patients was very high, with hypermutability being a consequence of mutations affecting the MRS genes (mostly the mutL gene, but also mutS).
They are defined by a number of criteria, including the sensitivity of this region of the viral fusion protein to loss of function as a consequence of mutation.
Population linkage disequilibrium occurs as a consequence of mutation, selection, genetic drift, and population substructure produced by admixture of genetically distinct ethnic populations.
E170, as a consequence of mutation, remains as a free negative charge fluctuating on the LOX-1 surface, influencing the electrostatic potential generated by the arginines of the basic spine.
Loss of function of p53 as a consequence of mutation has been shown in 50% of human cancers [ 3].
Mutation is the source of variation on which oncogenic selection acts, and genomic instability is a consequence of mutation as well as a cause.
