| frameshift mutation |
an alteration in the reading frame of a gene due to the insertion or deletion of one or more base pairs (but not a multiple of three); frameshift mutations usually lead to nonfunctional proteins.

| frameshift mutation |
The insertion or deletion of nucleotides in the coding region of a gene causes the reading fram to shift. Shifting of the reading fram results in a change in the translation of the mRNA transcript. Therefore, a one or two base change results in a frameshift, while a three base change does not shift the reading frame, but can change the amino acid added by that codon (see missense mutation)
