GlossaryMissense Mutation (missense variant)

single nucleotide change alters one amino acid in a protein

A missense mutation is a type of genetic alteration where a single nucleotide change results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein produced by a gene. This can affect the protein's function, potentially leading to diseases or conditions, such as certain forms of alopecia, where hair loss occurs due to disrupted protein function in hair follicles.
