WHAT DOES MISSENSE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Missense mutation

In genetics, a missense mutation is a point mutation in which a single nucleotide change results in a codon that codes for a different amino acid. Missense mutations can render the resulting protein nonfunctional, and such mutations are responsible for diseases such as Epidermolysis bullosa, sickle-cell disease, and SOD1 mediated ALS. A special type of missense mutation that results in truncation of code is the nonsense mutation in which a codon is changed to a stop codon. The most common variant of sickle-cell disease, the 20th nucleotide of the gene for the beta chain of hemoglobin is altered from the codon GAG to GUG. Thus, the 6th amino acid glutamic acid is substituted for valine — notated as an "E6V" mutation — and the protein is sufficiently altered to cause the sickle-cell disease. Not all missense mutations lead to appreciable protein changes. An amino acid may be replaced by an amino acid of very similar chemical properties, in which case, the protein may still function normally; this is termed a neutral, "quiet", "silent" or conservative mutation.
