Some parts of DNA do not code for proteins. Describe how non- coding parts of DNA can affect the expression of genes​

By altering one of these regions, a variant (also known as a mutation) in noncoding DNA can turn on a gene and cause a protein to be produced in the wrong place or at the wrong time. Alternatively, a variant can reduce or eliminate the production of an important protein when it is needed.
