The frequency of somatic mutations of the glycophorin-A (GPA) gene was measured in red blood cells from a series of newborn babies and related to various epidemiological and lifestyle factors in order to identify those factors that might influence the mutation rate before birth. Although there was substantial variation in the mutation frequencies between individual babies, no specific associations were found with...
