The phrase "a specific mutation of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a particular change or alteration in a genetic sequence or organism.
Example: "Researchers have identified a specific mutation of the virus that increases its transmissibility."
Alternatives: "a particular variant of" or "a distinct alteration of".
To determine whether subjects of Puerto Rican heritage are at increased risk for a specific mutation of the proton-coupled folate transporter (PCFT) causing hereditary folate malabsorption (HFM).
The most promising is PLX4032, a molecule which blocks the action of the protein produced by a specific mutation of a gene called B-RAF.
Control plasmids that contain approximately 1000 bases of human genomic sequence with a specific mutation of interest positioned near the middle of the insert and a nearby 6-bp molecular barcode were synthesized, linearized, quantitated, and spiked into genomic DNA derived from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded prepared haparaffin-embedded prepared copy number ratios.
And the new research suggests that people who have a specific mutation of the BDNF gene are vulnerable to the frequent, unhelpful circling of negative memories during sleep.
A specific mutation of IDH1 frequently found in AS II, AS III and secondary GBM IV has been shown to be a key driver of this subtype [ 50].
In some individuals, genetic predisposition (i.e., a specific mutation of mitochondrial DNA) is associated with aminoglycoside-induced and non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss, making them particularly vulnerable to aminoglycoside toxicity [ 101].
It has been widely accepted that the impact of a specific mutation on phenotype will depend on the genetic background.
Similar approach can be extremely useful for dissecting the causality of a specific mutation and/or combinations of mutations identified in individual patients as well as in large cancer genomic studies.
The 'protein function' approaches are based on the prediction of the functional impact of a specific mutation in the coding sequence of a protein [ 1- 3].
It is possible that a specific mutation upregulates expression of BMP7 to result in MAP3K7 upregulation in Huiyang Beard chickens with HVP.
Around the same time that Hyman and his colleagues published their results in the summer of 2015, the National Cancer Institute launched a large and ambitious study to rigorously test the idea of matching a specific mutation, in any kind of cancer, with an appropriate targeted therapy.
