Evidence for negative selection against somatic mutations in fibroblasts with high N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mutation load
2024-04-07
Abstract excerpt
Advanced sequencing has revealed that thousands of mutations accumulate with age in most human tissues. While some can clonally expand and cause disease, the maximum mutation load a cell can tolerate without functional decline is unknown. We addressed this by repeatedly treating proliferating human primary fibroblasts with a low dose of the mutagen N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea and quantifying somatic mutation burden usin...
