To determine the type of mutation that has caused a disorder, we need more specific information about the nature of the mutation:
1. **Deletion**: A section of DNA is lost.
2. **Insertion**: One or more extra base pairs are added into the sequence.
3. **Substitution**: One base pair is replaced by another.
4. **Frameshift**: Changes in the reading frame due to insertions or deletions that are not in multiples of three.
If you can provide more details about the disorder or the molecular changes involved, I could help identify the specific type of mutation error. However, based on the options you provided, if there's a significant shift in the reading frame or if it results in a completely different protein, it could likely be identified as a **frameshift mutation** caused by either an insertion or deletion that is not in multiples of three.
