MeSH Heading: INDEL Mutation
Tree Number(s): G05.365.590.500; G05.558.370
Unique ID: D054643
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D054643
Scope Note: A mutation named with the blend of insertion and deletion. It refers to a length difference between two ALLELES where it is unknowable if the difference was originally caused by a SEQUENCE INSERTION or by a SEQUENCE DELETION. If the number of nucleotides in the insertion/deletion is not divisible by three, and it occurs in a protein coding region, it is also a FRAMESHIFT MUTATION.
Entry Term(s): INDELs Mutation; Insertion-Deletion Mutation; Insertions-Deletions Mutation
