Deletion mutation. Definition. noun. A type of gene mutation wherein the deletion (as well as addition) of (a number of) nucleotide (s) causes a shift in the reading frame of the codons in the mRNA, thus, may eventually lead to the alteration in the amino acid sequence at protein translation.Supplement. type of gene mutation wherein the deletion (as well as addition) of (a number of) nucleotide (s) causes a shift in the reading frame of the codons in the mRNA, thus, may eventually lead to the alteration in the amino acid sequence at protein translation. Supplement.
A mutation is a change in a DNA sequence that alters the protein for which the DNA codes. Sometimes mutations occur due to damage from an outside source, such as ultraviolet radiation. Excess ultraviolet radiation from the sun sometimes causes mutations that lead a cell to become cancerous. Most mutations that damage a DNA strand are harmful. Other mutations occur due to deletion or insertion of DNA base pairs. One such deletion in humans confers HIV resistance or a delayed AIDS onset. Humans who are heterozygous for the mutation, meaning they possess one mutant gene and one normal gene, experience a slower progression of AIDS.
