The term "missense mRNA" generally refers to messenger RNA (mRNA) that carries a sequence with a missense mutation. A missense mutation is a specific type of genetic mutation where a single nucleotide change in the DNA sequence results in the substitution of one amino acid for another in the protein that is produced. This occurs during transcription when DNA is converted into mRNA, which is then translated into a protein.
