In Brief: To document variations in rates of somatic mutations, the authors performed whole-genome sequencing of DNA from cells of intestinal crypts across 16 diverse mammalian species, spanning huge 40 000-fold variations in body mass and 30-fold variations in lifespan. The somatic mutation rates per year varied greatly across species and showed a much stronger inverse relationship with species lifespan than with species body mass.Comment: Peto’s p...

To read the full abstract: Lancet 2019;393:747–757. .This large prospective cohort study recruited from 34 UK fetal medicine units to evaluate the use of prenatal whole genome sequencing in 610 fetuses with a structural abnormality detected on antenatal ultrasound scanning and no chromosomal abnormality. Overall, a diagnostic genetic mutation ...
