Preferred Label : indel mutation;
MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH synonym : insertion deletion mutation; indel mutations; mutation, indel; insertion-deletion mutation; insertion-deletion mutations; mutation, insertion-deletion; Insertions-Deletions Mutation; Insertions Deletions Mutation; Insertions-Deletions Mutations; Mutation, Insertions-Deletions; INDELs Mutation; INDELs Mutations; Mutation, INDELs;
