Somatic mutations in single human cardiomyocytes demonstrate accelerated age-related DNA damage and cell fusion
2020-10-07
Abstract excerpt
<title>Abstract</title> <p>The accumulation of somatic DNA mutations is a hallmark of aging in many dividing cells and contributes to carcinogenesis. Here we survey the landscape of somatic single-nucleotide variants (sSNVs) in heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) which normally do not proliferate but often become polyploid with age. Using single-cell whole-genome sequencing we analyzed sSNVs from 48 single cardio...
