The mutation was caused as a result of deletion of one letter of the codon A from tyrosine leading a shift in the reading frame.

Normal is

Normal - Met - Tyr -His- Glu- Val

When a is removed from Tyrosine codon we have a shift in the reading frame to form a mutant with a new codon and protein.

Mutant - Met- Phe - Thr - Lys -Cys

Aug- Ucc- Acg - Aag -Ugu
