The longer the lifespan of a species, the slower the rate of mutations occur. The findings support the long-standing theory that somatic mutations play a role in aging.
Researchers discover somatic mutations appear to occur most often in the genes neurons use most.
Researchers report on a new technique which identifies genetic mutations that cause brain malformation.
Researchers discover Sturge-Weber syndrome, a neurological and skin disorder, is caused by a genetic mutation which occurs prior to birth.
