Answer:
Errors in the human genetic code, which are called mutations, sometimes lead to the production of abnormal proteins that may cause disease, including autoimmune disease and malignancy.A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes.
