Thanks.
Does "a loss of function" serve as an adjective for the noun "mutation?"

@oristarA,

Mutation means deformed...

It is a bit graphic, but if someone was to spill toxic waste on them, they are said to possibly become "mutated"...Or deformed...

Another example: People with sickle cell anemia...Have mutated or deformed red blood cells...

It sounds from what you are asking it does not...An adjective for loss of function would be "rendered incapable"...
