  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.

  4. Ribosomal frameshift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomal_frameshift

    Notable examples include HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus), [7] RSV (Rous sarcoma virus) [8] and the influenza virus (flu), [9] which all rely on frameshifting to create a proper ratio of 0-frame (normal translation) and "trans-frame" (encoded by frameshifted sequence) proteins. Its use in viruses is primarily for compacting more genetic ...

    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.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filippi_syndrome

    The above mutations cause a frameshift in the gene. [10] A frameshift mutation refers to a condition in which the reading frame of the gene is disrupted by the insertion or deletion of base pairs from the gene (if the number of inserted or deleted base pairs is not divisible by three). [11]

    The mutations cause a decrease in secretion of trimeric procollagen molecules. Other mutations in this gene can cause autosomal recessive Bruck syndrome, which is similar to OI. [72] Type XII – OI caused by a frameshift mutation in SP7 on chromosome 12q13.13. This mutation causes bone deformities, fractures, and delayed tooth eruption. [73]
