Selection of notable <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/mutation" class="extiw" title="en:mutation">mutations</a>, ordered in a standard table of the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/genetic_code" class="extiw" title="en:genetic code">genetic code</a> of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/amino_acid" class="extiw" title="en:amino acid">amino acids</a>. 
As can be seen, clinically important <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/missense_mutation" class="extiw" title="en:missense mutation">missense mutations</a> generally change the properties of the amino acid residue between being basic, acidic polar or nonpolar, while <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/nonsense_mutation" class="extiw" title="en:nonsense mutation">nonsense mutations</a> result in a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop_codon" class="extiw" title="en:Stop codon">stop codon</a>.
