INDEL Mutation - Genetics
Research News and Information

Definition of 'INDEL Mutation'

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.

Common names: INDEL Mutation; INDEL Mutations; Mutation, INDEL; Mutations, INDEL; Insertion-Deletion Mutation; Insertion Deletion Mutation; Insertion-Deletion Mutations; Mutation, Insertion-Deletion; Mutations, Insertion-Deletion

Typing of ARMS2 and CFH in age-related macular degeneration: case-control study and assessment of frequency in the Italian population.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: To determine the effects of the polymorphisms CFH Tyr402His and ARMS2 del443ins54 on susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and to find the frequencies of these single-nucleotide polymorphisms in an Italian population ... Read more...


Targeted capture and massively parallel sequencing of 12 human exomes.

14 Aug 2009 Genome-wide association studies suggest that common genetic variants explain only a modest fraction of heritable risk for common diseases, raising the question of whether rare variants account for a significant fraction of unexplained heritability. ... Read more...
