mis-sense mutation

a change to the base sequence of a DNA CODON so that it now encodes a different amino acid. For example, a SUBSTITUTION MUTATION in the first base of a triplet might produce the following missense mutation: CCU (pro) → ACU (thr). see GENETIC CODE.

These mutations are scattered throughout the kinase domain in a pattern similar to that described in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), except that mis-sense mutations are predominant and deletions and insertion/duplications are rare.
