Frameshift
- - of, pertaining to, or causing a type of mutation consisting of the insertion or deletion of one or more nucleotides in the nucleic acid structure of a gene, when the number of base pairs inserted or deleted is not a multiple of three.

Frameshift mutations cause more profound changes in the composition of the protein resulting from translation of the mutated gene.
