Deletion Mutation

A deletion mutation is a genetic change in which one or more nucleotide base pairs are removed from a DNA sequence; depending on its size and location it can shift the reading frame, alter protein structure, or abolish gene function, and such deletions underlie many inherited and acquired diseases.

Overview

A deletion mutation is a genetic change in which one or more nucleotide base pairs are removed from a DNA sequence; depending on its size and location it can shift the reading frame, alter protein structure, or abolish gene function, and such deletions underlie many inherited and acquired diseases. Research published in DNA And RNA Research examines the detection and interpretation of sequence variants, including molecular analysis of disease-associated genes, characterisation of variants of uncertain significance such as a clinically relevant deletion in a RET mutant, and the identification of somatic mutations in tumour tissue. This work shows how deletions and other variants are identified and assessed for functional and clinical impact. Readers interested in molecular genetics, mutation analysis, and genotype to phenotype relationships will find peer-reviewed, open-access studies relevant to deletion mutations.
