5-Hydroxycytosine is an oxidized form of cytosine that is associated with an increased frequency of C to T transition mutations, with some C to G transversions.^[1] It does not distort the DNA molecule and is readily bypassed by replicative DNA polymerases.^[2]

It has been shown in vitro to miscode for adenine.
