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?

The type of mutation that causes this translation error is called deletion. Deletion occurs when a section of a DNA is deleted or lost. In cystic fibrosis, three nucleotides are deleted that results in the lost of phenylalanine.

The type of mutation that causes this translation error in cystic fibrosis is

called deletion.

What is Deletion?

Deletion occurs as a result of a segment of the DNA being left during the

process of replication.

In  the case of cystic fibrosis,  the section of the DNA lost contains the  

three nucleotides which codes for phenylalanine. This thereby results in

the loss of this amino acid and in the formation of the genetic disorder.
