why a stop-loss is pathogenic

Hi every one

Could anyone explain why a stop-loss is pathogenic? Like why causing an elongated protein is pathogenic?

snp

because some extra amino acids could break the conformation of the protein -> active domain is broken.

closing as it's not related to bioinformatics.

Why a stoploss mutation is not related to bioinformatics? Shouldnot we understand the type of mutations we try to discover from data?

Because it's a basic concept of molecular biology, you would expect to find in good text books on the topic. As a rule of thumb, we do not attempt to explain basic concepts of molecular biology on this site that have better explanation elsewhere.
