Abstract excerpt
Mosaicism refers to the presence of genetically distinct cell lines within an organism or a tissue. Somatic mosaicism exists in distinct populations of somatic cells and commonly arises as a result of somatic mutations, mainly in early embryonic development. SNPs are important markers that distinguish between different individuals in heterogeneous biological samples and contribute greatly to disease risk...
