This means that a normal gene, that produces a protein that goes on to provide a certain function, becomes abnormal.  This abnormal gene produces an abnormal protein.  Now our cells are really smart and there are other proteins that detect abnormal genes and remove them or even signal for the entire cell to be destroyed.
