A mutagen is defined as an agent (which can be chemical, physical like radiation, etc.) that causes a change (mutation) in the DNA sequence. A living thing that has undergone a mutation is a mutant. A mutation affecting one gene is just a description of a type of mutation. And any chemical that can poison living cells is a general toxic chemical, not specifically related to causing DNA mutations.
