Mutations are the driving force of evolution, and source of diversity between individuals. But they are also at the origin of monogenic genetic diseases and genetic predispositions to polyfactorial diseases. The pathogenicity of a mutation can be clarified by speaking of "deleterious mutation" or "pathogenic mutation".

The consequence of any mutation depends on its functional effect, which may be neutral, lead to the improvement of a function (diversity, evolution) or the alteration of a function (pathogenic effect).
