Human gene mutation in pathology and evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Mutations in human gene pathology and evolution represent two sides of the same coin in that the same mechanisms that have frequently been implicated in disease-associated mutagenesis appear also to have been involved in potentiating evolutionary change. Indeed, the mutational spectra of germline mutations responsible for inherited disease, somatic mutations underlying tumorigenesis, polymorphisms (either neutral...
