Single-codon deletion through a slippage-like mechanism. The deletion leading to the deletion of glycine G210 in the PPX2L gene occurred in the genomic context of two overlapping trinucleotide repeats, (TGG)2 or (GTG)2, the deleted triplet unit is either a TGG or a GTG. In both cases, the deletion corresponds to a triplet unit and thus might have been lost through a slippage-like mechanism.
