What will be the effect of the deletion mutation of a gene at the telomere?

What will be the effect of the deletion mutation of a gene at the telomere? Correct Answer No effect

The genes at the telomere are silenced, and never expressed. It is in form of heterochromatin inaccessible to the transcription machinery. Thus, deletion of a gene that wasn’t expressed to start with doesn’t make much difference.
