| | Within these main classes a mutation can be consided a loss of function or gain of function. There are also Frameshifts and Dynamic Mutations. Since I did not start this article I want to know if anyone would object if I made these corrections as well as provide some background information about what exactly these mutations trully are?--[[User:Able806|Able806]] 09:07, 12 February 2008 (EST) | | Within these main classes a mutation can be consided a loss of function or gain of function.
