No. From a theological point of view, the transfiguration of Jesus was the most important event in Mark's Gospel.
The original version of Mark's Gospel had no resurrection appearances of the risen Jesus, the "long ending" (verses 16:9-20) not appearing in the early manuscripts. Without any proof of the resurrection of Jesus, the best evidence that the author of Mark could provide for the special mission of Jesus was the transfiguration. In this, the disciples saw Jesus change his appearance while he talked to Moses and Elijah, and heard the voice of God proclaim Jesus to be his Son.

Why is the virgin birth not in Mark's Gospel?
A:Mark's Gospel was the first New Testament gospel to be written and yet contained no reference to the birth of Jesus. In the view of John Shelby Spong (Born of a Woman: A Bishop Rethinks the Birth of Jesus), neither birth story, in Matthew and Luke, contains any historical truth. Spong points out that many religions of the Mediterranean region had stories of the virgin births of their gods and godmen. The first gospel reference to the virgin birth of Jesus is in Matthew's Gospel, which refers to the Book of Isaiah as a prophecy of the birth, however Spong does not believe the author took the idea of a virgin birth from Isaiah, but that he found it useful.From this we can see that the virgin birth of Jesus was an idea that had not yet arisen at the time Mark's Gospel was written.
