Mutational signature analyses in multi-child families reveal sources of age-related increases in human germline mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Whole-genome sequencing studies of parent-offspring trios have provided valuable insights into the potential impact of de novo mutations (DNMs) on human health and disease. However, the molecular mechanisms that drive DNMs are unclear. Studies with multi-child families can provide important insight into the causes of inter-family variability in DNM rates but they are highly limited. We characterized 2479 de novo...
