I am not sure what are you looking for, maybe silent mutation?

It changes the genotype but doesn't really affect the phenotype. One of the nitrogen bases was mutated into another, but still coding the same nucleic acid example : TTT was mutated into TTC, still they both coded the Phe, so, nothing really change in the phenotype.
