Annotation

Explanation

Frameshift insertion

An insertion of one or more nucleotides that cause frameshift changes in protein coding sequence

Frameshift deletion

A deletion of one or more nucleotides that cause frameshift changes in protein coding sequence

Frameshift block substitution

A block substitution of one or more nucleotides that cause frameshift changes in protein coding sequence

Stopgain

A nonsynonymous SNV, frameshift insertion/deletion, nonframeshift insertion/deletion or block substitution that lead to the immediate creation of stop codon at the variant site. For frameshift mutations, the creation of stop codon downstream of the variant will not be counted as “stopgain”!

Stoploss

A nonsynonymous SNV, frameshift insertion/deletion, nonframeshift insertion/deletion or block substitution that lead to the immediate elimination of stop codon at the variant site

Nonframeshift insertion

An insertion of 3 or multiples of 3 nucleotides that do not cause frameshift changes in protein coding sequence

Nonframeshift deletion

A deletion of 3 or multiples of 3 nucleotides that do not cause frameshift changes in protein coding sequence

Nonframeshift block substitution

A block substitution of one or more nucleotides that do not cause frameshift changes in protein coding sequence

Nonsynonymous SNV

A single nucleotide change that cause an amino acid change

Synonymous SNV

A single nucleotide change that does not cause an amino acid change

Unknown

Unknown function (due to various errors in the gene structure definition in the database file)
