A mutation disturbing the reading frame of a protein-coding gene. A deletion or an insertion of a DNA segment that is not three nucleotides or a multiple of three.
a mutational addition or deletion of a base pair in a gene such that the normal reading frame of an mRNA, that is read in sequences of three, is disrupted.
The addition or deletion of a nucleotide to a DNA sequence, causing out-of-phase translation.
Occurs when one or more nucleotide insertions or deletions changes the reading frame and alters the amino acid specified.
An alteration of DNA where insertion or deletion of sequence occurs that is not a multiple of three base pairs, thus disrupting the gene/protein's normal code.
FRAME-shift mew-TAY-shun A mutation that adds or deletes one or two DNA bases, altering the reading frame. 341
A mutation resulting from the addition or deletion or one or more nucleotides, other than in multiples of three, that causes the gene to be misread.
A type of mutation in which a number of nucleotides not divisible by three is deleted from or inserted into a coding sequence, thereby causing an alteration in the reading frame of the entire sequence downstream of the mutation. These mutations may be induced by certain types of mutagens or may occur spontaneously.
An insertion or deletion involving a number of base pairs that is not a multiple of three and consequently disrupts the triplet reading frame, usually leading to the creation of a premature termination (stop) codon and resulting in a truncated protein product. Synonyms: out-of-frame deletion, out-of-frame mutation.
(synonyms: out-of-frame deletion, out-of-frame mutation) An insertion or deletion involving a number of base pairs that is not a multiple of three and consequently disrupts the triplet reading frame, usually leading to the creation of a premature termination (stop) codon and resulting in a truncated protein product
A mutation resulting from insertion or deletion of a group of nucleotides that is not a multiple of three and which therefore changes the frame in which translation occurs.
a mutation that occurs when the number of nucleotides inserted or deleted is not a multiple of 3; results in incorrect codon grouping.
