Selfish mutations dysregulating RAS-MAPK signaling are pervasive in aged human testes
- Abstract:
-
Mosaic mutations present in the germline have important implications for reproductive risk and disease transmission. We previously demonstrated a phenomenon occurring in the male germline, whereby specific mutations arising spontaneously in stem cells (spermatogonia) lead to clonal expansion, resulting in elevated mutation levels in sperm over time. This process, termed selfish spermatogonial selection, explains the high spontaneous birth prevalence and strong paternal age-effect of disorders...
