Outcomes of BPID (multiple)

• (In multiples of 3 nucleotide pairs)

  No frameshift mutation

  • resulting protein would have one or more extra amino acid(s) (for insertion) or one or more missing amino acid(s) (for deletion)
  • lead to polypeptide folding in a different way to give a different 3-D configuration
  • protein may become more active or less active or non-functional as a result
