misprocessing
Incorrect data handling
Misprocessing is faulty or incorrect processing—handling something in a way that produces errors or unintended results.
The term appears in technical contexts: misprocessing of data, misprocessing of financial transactions.
In biology, it describes cellular machinery failing to process proteins or molecules correctly: misprocessing of amyloid precursor protein may contribute to Alzheimer's disease.
