GNU Webster's 1913
- adj. (Genetics) 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. If the addition or deletion occurs in multiples of three, the unaffected nucleotides in the genome remain in the proper order ("frame") to be correctly translated into protein; in such cases of insertions or deletions not causing a frame shift, a functional though altered protein may be produced by the organism.
Frameshift mutations cause more profound changes in the composition of the protein resulting from translation of the mutated gene.
Examples

“Did that last post undergo a frameshift mutation, or what?”
“Ugt5b5 gene has four nonsense mutations and two frameshift mutations and appears to be a pseudogene.”
“Our friend sitting by the theatre at 8: 45 could've avoided distress at this sudden frameshift by rejecting the human tendency to turn 'blocks of time' into abstractions and invest them with qualities.”
“Given the A1 antigen allele plus encoding of the rhesus factor in combination with lack of B antigen and the O antigen frameshift mutation, we conclude that the Saqqaq individual had blood type A+”
