Type Species Amino acid change Nucleotide change Description Reference
Frameshift Human 250fs Heterozygous skipping of exon 8 (224bp) results in a frameshift after codon 250, predicted to lead to 40 missense codons then a stop codon resulting in a truncated protein. 7
In-frame deletion Human 426delEQE 1276del9 Exon 10. The mutation is in the cytoplasmic loop between regions M3 and M4 of the protein, and impairs the interaction between the β and δ subunits. 7
