AB There  are  three  major  types  of  mutations:  (1)  genome  mutations,  which  involve  loss  or  gain  of  an  entire  chromosome;  (2)  chromosomal  mutations,  which  involve  alterations  in  one  or  more  chromosomes  that  are  usually  identifiable  by  karyotyping;  and  (3)  gene  mutations,  which  are  partial  or  complete  deletion  of  the  gene  or  alteration  of  the  base.  Genome  mutations  usually  result  in  death  of  the  fetus,  or  death  during  infancy  or  early  childhood.
