N79S
N79S is a designation used in protein sequence variant notation to indicate a missense mutation in which the amino acid asparagine (N) at position 79 is replaced by serine (S). This shorthand is used across many different genes and proteins, so the exact biological effect depends on the specific protein in which it occurs.
In practice, the full protein-level notation is often written as p.N79S in HGVS (Human Genome Variation Society)
Possible consequences of the N79S substitution depend on the protein’s structure and function. It can alter
Detection and interpretation typically involve sequencing or proteomic analysis, followed by annotation in variant databases such
