What type of mutation will the deletion of a DNA nucleotide from a strand of DNA cause?

The DNA sequence of a gene can be altered in a number of ways. Gene mutations have varying effects on health, depending on where they occur and whether they alter the function of essential proteins.
The types of mutations include: missense mutation, nonsense mutation, insertion, deletion, duplication, frameshift mutation or repeat expansion.
A deletion changes the number of DNA bases by removing a piece of DNA. Small deletions may remove one or a few base pairs within a gene, while larger deletions can remove an entire gene or several neighboring genes. The deleted DNA may alter the function of the resulting protein(s).
