"A frameshift mutation will in general cause the reading of the codons after the mutation to code for different amino acids, but there may be exceptions resulting from the redundancy in the genetic code. Furthermore, the stop codon ("UAA", "UGA" or "UAG") in the original sequence will not be read, and a stop codon could result at an earlier or later site. The protein being created could be abnormally short or abnormally long, and will most likely not be functional."
The "there may be exception resulting for the redundancy in the genetic code" is quite wrong. The protection of codon reading through redundancy is only present in point mutations not frame shift mutations. For example if you look at the article titled DNA Codon Table a +1 frameshift would only preserve Proline and Glycine. When you add on the complexities involved in protein folding one also has to consider that without Cystine disulfide bonds would be unable to form correctly. Bottom line is that one would be more than hard pressed to find a frameshift mutation with no effect.

As stated above, this Wikipedia page is subject for an assignment in 410.602 Molecular Biology, Spring, 2013, at JHU. Group 82G will be working on this article. Group 82G selected frameshift mutation because this topic has limited information and few references. There are more key points, or concepts that will help develop this article from a Stub status. To improve this article we are looking to broaden the basic ideas already highlighted. We would like to add in information regarding the formation of frameshift mutations and how they effect the reading frame/proteins. We would also like to look into the mechanism of the mutation, i.e. genetic or environmental causes, and also how it differs from other point mutations. From there we would like to expand into research on the cause of frame mutations. This will lead into the clinical relevancy of frame mutations, such as role in disease. Finally we would like to talk about frameshift mutations as a positive factor in dealing with improving treatments, and the role frameshift mutations play/have played in evolution, i.e. nylonase.

Greetings! I was assigned to do the first peer-review of frameshift mutation. Fortunately, my team, 82D, also chooses an article with a topic of missense mutation that is a closely related to frameshift mutation. I will read over a few times with each different focuses, including wiki suitable format and style, overall balance in the content, references and their accuracy, and depth of each section. / Mhk5600 ( talk) 21:59, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
At a glance, this page looks great. Overall partitions among sections are well planned. The following note may be too extreme to say. It is about number of paragraphs in the lead section. It has five paragraphs. While Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style said it is not an absolute rule, but a general guideline, 5 paragraphs for 2273 characters long of the lead section are questionable. Aren’t 5 paragraphs able to be reduced into 1 or 2 paragraphs? It is one of things to think about during Unit 11-12.
The lead section also contains disease specific frame mutation information. They are Tay-Sachs disease, CCR5 HIV, and hypercholesterolemia. How about reduce them into one sentence, like “A frame mutation is responsible for genetic diseases, Tay-Sachs disease, the disabling of the CCR5 HIV receptor, and hypercholesterolemia. Please see the Diseases-Research section in this article for further information.” I see a typo, “indicatee” in Genetic and Environment section.
Reference links that are pointing to the internal Wikipedia and external weblink are all valid and working. I suggest creating a link with in a group of words. For instance, the first sentence in the lead section has “a genetic mutation”. There are 2 separate links that are pointing “genetic” and “mutation”. I assume that authors wants to treat “a genetic mutation” in one meaning, not combining of “genetic” and “mutation”.
In Transcription and translation section, I read, “... aminoacyl-tRNA binding to the start codon (AUG)...” AUG has an internal link to the article, start codon. I think “start codon” needs to have an internal link to the article, start codon, not “AUG”. The same question goes to “stop codon”, not “(UAG, UGA or UAA)”
One of figures that used in this article may not be able to use. It is about ‘Example of amino acid changes in frameshift mutation”. From a description of this figure, “This file is missing evidence of permission...the image will be deleted after Wednesday, 17 April 2013...” I am sure you can find other excellent quality of figures from other websites. From my quick search, there is other good one from NIH webpage. Please double check a permission of each figure, when you get a new figure from outside, just in case. Overall, this is very good work. I am only able to check links, if such links do exist. I cannot read all of listed references to crosscheck with articles at this time. I hope 82G team would do that diligently.
Overall depth of content is suitable, except Disease-Research section. I am having a hard to follow a flow of content. It may be due to either a nature of contend or lack of my knowledge in each of those topics. If a public who want to know about what a frameshift mutation is would read this wiki article, I am not sure they could understand this kind of detail and technical. It is purely my opinion.
Thanks for having me on your article review. Happy editing! / Mhk5600 ( talk) 03:59, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello fellow wiki editors! I was randomly assigned to peer review your wiki page, so here goes. In my opinion, your article so far is very well structured and thought out with a lot of coherent and pertinant information. The one thing that I see as an issue it that this comment pops up at the top of your article from wikipedia: "This article currently links to a large number of disambiguation pages (or back to itself) (check | fix). Please help direct these ambiguous links to articles dealing with the specific meaning intended. Read the FAQ. (April 2013)" This seems like an issue that wikipedia would like you guys to sort out, and would therefore, not be entirely in-line with their style guideline. Happy editing!

Hello! It looks like I have been assigned as your second reviewer. This article has been greatly improved with great added information. The article is neutral without any jargon and is easy to read and understand for a user without a strong background in molecular biology. The information given in each section is coherent and correct and there doesn't seem to be any gaps in the information nor plagiarism. There are some structural changes that I would like to suggest. Under the subheading 'Transcription and Translation' there are two main articles that are listed. Is is possible to list both articles without having 'Main article' listed twice? Also throughout the article, some words are linked to other wiki pages, but you should be careful that you are not over linking some main words. For example, 'insertions' and 'deletions' are linked more than once in the lead section. You should only link something, in general, the first time you use it, not every time. To quote the style guide page: "A term should be linked, generally, at most once in an article's lead, perhaps once again in the main article body, and perhaps once at first occurrence in each infobox, table, caption, and footnote." Also when using headings and subheading, you should think about writing a small introduction under the heading. For example, 'Finding Frameshift Mutations' has multiple subheading but there isn't anything written under the main heading 'Finding Frameshift Mutations'. As a user this was a little confusing when navigating through the article. You should also think about rephrasing the heading 'Cures' just so its more clear. The article could also benefit from more referenced articles and having two columns for your references. In all, this group has greatly improved this article. Great job!

Hi guys! For my second peer review, I will be reviewing this article as a participant in the JHU Ambassador program.
Great job and thanks for reading! Bcheon1 ( talk) 21:55, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
Thank you to all our peer reviewers on this article. Your analysis greatly helped my partner and I add to making this a better article. I think we all learned how to increase our writing and editing skills by being involved with this article. As you know the final progress report for the article is in the gruop page.

))) Мутация сдвига рамки (так-же называется RED-ERROR или orf frameshift (сдвиг рамки считывания)). Представляет собой генетическую мутацию, вызванную индели (инсерция либо делеция) во множестве нуклеотидов кодирующей области ДНК-последовательности, акт которой не делиться на три. В связи с триплетным характером экспрессии генов дробленных на триединици кодонов, вставки или делеции не кратные трём могут изменить рамку считывания (группируемость кодонов), в результате транскрипция принимает совершенно другой перевод с оригенала. Инсерции либо делеции приводят к синтезу совершенно более измененного и структурно и длиной белка. Мутации сдвига рамки считывания совершенно не то же самое что и моно-нуклеотидный полиморфизм линейной эволюционной мутируемости, при котором нуклеотид меняется, а не вставлен либо удален. Мутирование рамки считывания в общем приводит к синтезу биополимера с иным аминокислотным процентом. Мутации сдвига рамки считывания также изменяют протяженность кодирующей области, то есть: позицию первого стоп-кодона («TAA", "TAG" или "TGA"), встречающихся в цепи биополимерной последовательности. Создающийся полипептид будет обычно аномально короток либо аномально удлинен, но скорее всего он не будет нормально работать. А если такая мутация окажется эволюционно актуальна и дарвинистически выгодно закрепленной (по разным источником от десятков до десятков тысяч ген в геноме человека), то тогда часто синтез такого полипептида во многом снижен из-за его конфронтации с естественным имунным ответом в границах той или иной степени приточенности его структуры к иммунным телам организма и конкуренцией с позитивной отсутствующей вакансией его дикого аналога.
Мутации сдвига рамки считывания являются и очевидными факторами при тяжелых генетических нарушениях-мутациях, таких как болезнь Тея-Сакса и кистозный фиброз ; они повышают чувствительность к определенным видам рака и классам семейной гиперхолестеринемии ; в 1997 году [2] обнаружены мутации сдвига рамки считывания, связанные с устойчивостью к инфекции ретровируса иммунодефицита. Рамки считывания были предложены в качестве источника биологической новизны, как предположение о создание nylonase , однако, такая интерпретация является спорной.
С построением алгоритма поиска ген со сдвигом рамок считывания и их известными функциями,
блокируемыми иммунным ответом, можно более подробно ознакомиться на сайте patternscom.nethouse.ua Дмитрий Полесинский ( talk) 06:38, 29 October 2013 (UTC)Dmitrij Polesinskij

Near the end, a para starts out "Finding a cure for the diseases caused by frameshift mutations is rare. Research into this is evident. One example is a primary immunodeficiency..." I can't make sense of this. The first sentence seems to be saying that very few researchers have looked into finding cures for this frameshift problem. If that's what it means (I'm not clear, it might instead mean that few cures have been found despite much research), perhaps it could be worded "Little research has been done on finding cures for diseases caused by frameshift mutations." The second sentence, "Research into this is evident", is even less clear. It seems to be saying that it's easy ("evident") to find such research, but that would flatly contradict (my understanding of) the first sentence. The third sentence is also unclear: example of what? Research? Failure to find a cure? Something else?
As I read and re-read this, another possible meaning occurred to me, which I'll paraphrase as "Despite research, few cures to diseases caused by frameshift mutations have been found. For example, although one cause of primary immunodeficiency is known to be frameshift, ..."
BTW, I came here from the non-coding DNA article ( /info/en/?search=Non-coding_DNA) hoping for enlightenment on the following: "Noncoding DNA separates genes from each other with long gaps, so mutation in one gene or part of a chromosome, for example deletion or insertion, does not have a frameshift effect on the whole chromosome." It wasn't immediately clear why indels in non-coding DNA wouldn't also cause a frameshift problem. Maybe the reason is that there are start/stop indicators (separate from the 3 codon sequences meaning start/ stop) that are readable despite any frameshift; but I don't understand how that would work. It would be helpful if this article could provide an explanation for that. Mcswell ( talk) 19:24, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
