  2. Frameshift mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frameshift_mutation

    A frameshift mutation can drastically change the coding capacity (genetic information) of the message. [1] Small insertions or deletions (those less than 20 base pairs) make up 24% of mutations that manifest in currently recognized genetic disease. [10] Frameshift mutations are found to be more common in repeat regions of DNA.

    In combination with palbociclib and fulvestrant for the treatment of adults with endocrine-resistant, PIK3CA-mutated, hormone receptor (HR)-positive, human epidermal growth-factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative, locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer, as detected by an FDA-approved test, following recurrence on or after completing adjuvant ...

  4. List of genetic disorders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genetic_disorders

    The following is a list of genetic disorders and if known, type of mutation and for the chromosome involved. Although the parlance "disease-causing gene" is common, it is the occurrence of an abnormality in the parents that causes the impairment to develop within the child. There are over 6,000 known genetic disorders in humans.

  5. Neurofibromatosis type II - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurofibromatosis_type_II

    Studies have shown that missense mutations and large deletions can both cause predominantly mild phenotypes. Phenotype is more variable in patients with splice-site mutations, and a milder disease in patients with mutations in exons 9–15. [25] Patients with a missense mutation have a greater survival rate than nonsense and frameshift mutations.

    1 Implication in diseases ... PTVs and DNA variants caused by frameshift mutation. ... truncating variants are not associated with human diseases. [2]

  7. Neurogenetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenetics

    Human karyogram. Neurogenetics studies the role of genetics in the development and function of the nervous system.It considers neural characteristics as phenotypes (i.e. manifestations, measurable or not, of the genetic make-up of an individual), and is mainly based on the observation that the nervous systems of individuals, even of those belonging to the same species, may not be identical.

  8. Filippi syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filippi_syndrome

    This frameshift mutation ultimately results in a premature termination codon (the formation of a termination codon at a position more "forward" than normal). [10] Other mutations include a base pair transition in the start codon , which is the starting site of translation of the gene. [ 10 ]

  9. Molecular lesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_lesion

    Common mutations that occur after undergoing this process are point mutations and frameshift mutations. Several diseases come as a result of this process including several cancers and Xeroderma pigmentosum. [25] The effect of oxidatively damaged RNA has resulted in a number of human diseases and is especially associated with chronic degeneration.
