Many different types of mutations can occur within the body. cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that is caused by different mutations within the cftr gene. one mutation in the cftr gene that leads to cystic fibrosis causes translation to end earlier in the gene sequence. which type of mutation causes this translation error that leads to cystic fibrosis? silent missense nonsense deletion

Deletion is the type of mutation that causes this translation error that leads to cystic fibrosis

In genetics, a deletion (Δ) is a mutation in which a part of a DNA chromosome or a DNA sequence is lost during DNA replication.

Deletion is the type of mutation that causes this translation error that leads to cystic fibrosis.  Deletion occurs when a DNA section is lost or deleted.

There are three types of deletion, include the following:

In cystic fibrosis, three nucleotides are deleted, which results in the lost of phenylalanine. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder which have affects mostly on the lungs, also the pancreas, liver, intestine and kidneys. One mutation in the CFTR gene that leads to cystic fibrosis causes translation to end earlier in the gene sequence. Most cases of cystic fibrosis are as a result of the ∆F508 mutation, which deletes the entire amino acid.
