Recent advances in the study of somatic mosaicism and diseases other than cancer.
[proteus syndrome]
Somatic
mosaicism
is
well
appreciated
as
a
cause
of
cancer
and
,
possibly
,
aging
.
Somatic
mosaicism
as
the
cause
of
other
diseases
is
becoming
more
appreciated
.
It
is
especially
important
in
the
causation
of
deforming
diseases
(
e
.
g
.
,
Proteus
syndrome
;
Sturge-
Weber
syndrome
)
which
are
not
inherited
because
early
developmental
expression
is
lethal
.
It
also
known
to
make
an
important
contribution
to
neurological
,
dermatological
,
hematological
and
other
diseases
(
and
probably
all
diseases
but
many
in
which
it
is
harder
to
detect
)
.
There
have
been
exciting
recent
advances
in
the
detection
of
somatic
mosaicism
.
In
particular
,
for
many
diseases
of
somatic
overgrowth
in
which
somatic
mosaicism
as
the
sole
cause
was
predicted
,
the
gene
somatically
mutated
has
been
found
.
A
limited
number
of
pathways
seem
involved
in
these
disorders
,
some
of
which
are
also
implicated
in
cancer
.
