The 28 pages that link to Somatic mutation, each with the reason it gives.

• CultivarRelated: A selected branch mutation can give rise to a new cultivar propagated from that tissue.

• MosaicismRelated: A mutation in an embryonic cell can create a genetically distinct lineage.

• Vegetative reproductionRelated: Mutations in growing plant tissues can create genetic differences within otherwise clonal plants.

• KaryotypeRelated: Acquired chromosome changes can make tissue karyotypes differ from inherited patterns.

• CarcinogenesisRelated: Mutations can alter genes that control cell growth, survival, and genome maintenance.

• Tumor suppressor geneRelated: Such mutations can disable a tumor suppressor in a developing tumor without being inherited.

• Hematopoietic stem cellRelated: Such mutations can alter stem-cell fitness and shape blood-cell populations.

• Clonal colonyRelated: Mutations can make different parts of an old colony genetically distinct.

• Myelodysplastic syndromeRelated: Acquired mutations shape MDS clones, disease behavior, and classification.

• Clonal hematopoiesisRelated: A mutation in a blood-forming stem cell can mark the descendants of its clone.

• Clonal evolutionRelated: New somatic mutations create heritable differences among cell lineages.

• HeteroplasmyRelated: New mitochondrial mutations can create heteroplasmy during an individual's lifetime.

• Apple cultivarRelated: Mutations in a branch can produce stable fruit-color variants selected as new cultivars.

• Benzo(a)pyreneRelated: Misrepaired benzo(a)pyrene-induced DNA lesions can become mutations in exposed cells.

• Molecular pathologyRelated: Acquired mutations often drive tumors and help define their molecular subtypes.

• Somatic cellRelated: Mutations arising in somatic lineages can affect tissues without being inherited.

• HamartomaRelated: Some hamartomas reflect localized developmental or genetic changes rather than inherited mutations throughout the body.

• MutagenRelated: Mutagen exposure can create mutations confined to affected tissues.

• Xeroderma pigmentosumRelated: Unrepaired UV lesions generate mutations that can initiate skin cancers.

• Arteriovenous malformationRelated: Somatic mutations in vascular cells are being investigated as contributors to some AVMs.

• Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney diseaseRelated: Additional somatic changes may help determine which kidney cells develop cysts.

• Old TjikkoRelated: Mutations can distinguish successive shoots within a long-lived plant clone.

• ProteogenomicsRelated: Tumor proteogenomics can test whether genomic mutations produce altered proteins.
