Abstract excerpt
A subset of genetic loci of Homo sapiens are reviewed that: 1) have the potential for allelic variation (either mutation or polymorphism) such that degenerative and/or proliferative phenotypic aberrations may be of relatively late onset ('abiotrophic'); 2) have phenotypic features which overlap,...
