Human Sperm Mutations that can Cause Disease in Children Identified

Researchers find that one in 15 men are likely to carry mutations that could adversely affect their offspring Throughout development, life and the processes of aging, all human cells accumulate mutations, resulting in what is called mosaicism, a condition in which different cells in the same person have different DNA sequences or genetic makeup. Mosaicism […]
