location of mutations

Hello everyone I want to add a picture to my article and summarize published mutations of a gene and its protein. I tried ucsc or NCBI but i couldn't find exact location of that mutations there because It was complicated and difficult for me . for example I got no results after i searched c.599C>A in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products Tab. I need a database to show exact location of mutations in exon and introns. I also tried MutationMapper but it didn't work; I assume because my gene isn't related to cancer disease. I really appreciate your help to solve my problem.

Surely the published article provides the genomic coordinates of the mutation? In which case you can then insert the coordinates into the UCSC Genome Browser

No unfortunately only mutations in genome and protein are reported not the exact chromosomal location. how can i find exact chromosome coordinates?

So a published article about a mutation doesn't provide the location of the mutation? That cant be right. Have you checked the supplementary material? Please provide a link to the article.

@OP: Gene it self is a location information and it has only transcript. On transcript, variation is at c.599C>A. In manuscript, authors furnished aa position as well Ser200Tyr. Now it needs little home work to reconstruct genomic coordinates.

    CM000664.2:g.96761598C>A
    NC_000002.11:g.97427335C>A
    NC_000002.12:g.96761598C>A
    NG_016608.1:g.5697C>A
    NM_020184.3:c.599C>A
    NP_064569.3:p.Ser200Tyr
    XP_005263971.1:p.Ser200Tyr
    XP_005263972.1:p.Ser200Tyr
    XP_011509257.1:p.Ser200Tyr
    XP_011509258.1:p.Ser200Tyr

One should look at variation position in a gene (for eg. in this case.CNNM4)- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/snp_ref.cgi?locusId=26504

Thanks for your help. I'll try the instructions you mentioned. I think it completely solves the problem, but I really need to improve my bioinformatics.
