Abstract excerpt
The developmental stage is the most rapid period for the accumulation of somatic mutations. Epidemiological studies have also suggested a significant role of early life for cancer susceptibility, showing a protective effect of modest dietary restriction early in life. To determine if mutation rate, diet, and cancer risk are related, we have investigated the effect of dietary restriction on somatic mutations early...
