'''Human somatic variations''' are [[somatic mutation]]s ([[mutation]]s that occur in [[somatic cell]]s) both at early stages of development and in adult cells. These variations can lead either to pathogenic [[phenotype]]s or not, even if their function in healthy conditions is not completely clear yet.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Li |first1=Chun |last2=Williams |first2=Scott M. |date=2013-12-01 |title=Human Somatic Variation: It's Not Just for Cancer Anymore |journal=Current Genetic Medicine Reports |volume=1 |issue=4 |pages=212–218 |doi=10.1007/s40142-013-0029-z |issn=2167-4876 |doi-access=free}}</ref>

Genetic mutations involved in mosaicism may be due to endogenous factors, such as transposons and ploidy changes, or exogenous factors, such as UV radiation and nicotine.<ref name=":32"/>

==Somatic mosaicism in healthy human tissues==
[[Somatic mosaicism]] arises a result of [[somatic mutation]]s: genomic (or even [[mitochondrial DNA|mitochondrial]]) alterations of different sizes ranging from a single [[nucleotide]] to [[chromosome]] gains or loss within somatic cells. These alterations within somatic cells begin at an early stage (pre-[[implantation (embryology)|implantation]] or conception) and continue during aging, giving rise to phenotypic heterogeneity within cells, which may lead to the development of diseases such as cancer.<ref name=":32">{{cite journal |last=De |first=Subhajyoti |date=2011-06-01 |title=Somatic mosaicism in healthy human tissues |url=https://www.cell.com/trends/genetics/fulltext/S0168-9525(11)00043-6 |journal=Trends in Genetics |language=English |volume=27 |issue=6 |pages=217–223 |doi=10.1016/j.tig.2011.03.002 |issn=0168-9525 |pmid=21496937|url-access=subscription }}</ref> Novel [[microarray analysis techniques|array]] based techniques for screening [[genome-wide association study|genome-wide]] copy number variants and loss of heterozygosity in single cells showed that chromosome [[aneuploidy|aneuploidies]], uniparental disomies, segmental [[deletion (genetics)|deletions]], [[gene duplication|duplications]], and [[gene amplification|amplifications]] frequently occur during [[embryogenesis]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Vanneste |first1=Evelyne |last2=Voet |first2=Thierry |last3=Le Caignec |first3=Cédric |last4=Ampe |first4=Michèle |last5=Konings |first5=Peter |last6=Melotte |first6=Cindy |last7=Debrock |first7=Sophie |last8=Amyere |first8=Mustapha |last9=Vikkula |first9=Miikka |last10=Schuit |first10=Frans |last11=Fryns |first11=Jean-Pierre |date=May 2002 |title=Chromosome instability is common in human cleavage-stage embryos |journal=Nature Medicine |volume=15 |issue=5 |pages=577–583 |doi=10.1038/nm.1924 |pmid=19396175 |s2cid=10530085 |issn=1546-170X |url=https://lirias.kuleuven.be/bitstream/123456789/263054/2/Vanneste2009.pdf}}</ref> Yet not all somatic mutations are propagated to the adult individual, due to the phenomenon of [[competition(biology)#Apparent competition in the human microbiome|cell competition]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Kalousek |first1=D.

Early research on [[somatic mutation]]s in aging showed that deletions, inversion, and translocations of genetic material are common in aging mice and aging genomes tend to contain visible chromosomal changes, mitotic [[genetic recombination|recombination]], whole gene deletions, intragenic deletions, and [[point mutation]]s. Other factors include the loss of [[methylation]], increasing gene expression heterogeneity correlating to genomic abnormalities,<ref name=":32"/> and telomere shortening.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Halaschek-Wiener |first1=Julius |last2=Vulto |first2=Irma |last3=Fornika |first3=Dan |last4=Collins |first4=Jennifer |last5=Connors |first5=Joseph M. |last6=Le |first6=Nhu D. |last7=Lansdorp |first7=Peter M. |last8=Brooks-Wilson |first8=Angela |date=2008-11-01 |title=Reduced telomere length variation in healthy oldest old |journal=Mechanisms of Ageing and Development |volume=129 |issue=11 |pages=638–641 |doi=10.1016/j.mad.2008.07.004 |pmid=18765247 |s2cid=2595117 |issn=0047-6374}}</ref> It is uncertain if transcription-based DNA repair takes part in the maintaining of somatic mutations in aging tissues.<ref name=":32"/>

In some cells, the somatically acquired alterations can be reversed back to wild type alleles by [[mutation|reversion]] mosaicism. This can be due to endogenous mechanism such as [[homologous recombination]], [[genetic code|codon]] substitution, second-site suppressor mutations, DNA slippage, and [[transposable element|mobile elements]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ellis |first1=N A |last2=Lennon |first2=D J |last3=Proytcheva |first3=M |last4=Alhadeff |first4=B |last5=Henderson |first5=E E |last6=German |first6=J |date=November 1995 |title=Somatic intragenic recombination within the mutated locus BLM can correct the high sister-chromatid exchange phenotype of Bloom syndrome cells. |journal=American Journal of Human Genetics |volume=57 |issue=5 |pages=1019–1027 |issn=0002-9297 |pmc=1801389 |pmid=7485150}}</ref>

==Somatic cancer-associated mutations in normal tissues==

The advent of [[next-generation sequencing|Next-Generation Sequencing]] technologies has increased the resolution of mutation detection and has led to the revelation that older individuals not only accumulate chromosomal alterations but also abundant mutations in cancer driver genes.<ref name=":2"/>

Age-associated accumulation of chromosomal alterations has been documented with a variety of cytogenetic approaches, from [[fluorescence in situ hybridization|chromosome painting]] to single nucleotide polymorphism ([[single-nucleotide polymorphism|SNP]]) arrays.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Jacobs |first1=Kevin B |last2=Yeager |first2=Meredith |last3=Zhou |first3=Weiyin |last4=Wacholder |first4=Sholom |last5=Wang |first5=Zhaoming |last6=Rodriguez-Santiago |first6=Benjamin |last7=Hutchinson |first7=Amy |last8=Deng |first8=Xiang |last9=Liu |first9=Chenwei |last10=Horner |first10=Marie-Josephe |last11=Cullen |first11=Michael |date=June 2012 |title=Detectable clonal mosaicism and its relationship to aging and cancer |journal=Nature Genetics |volume=44 |issue=6 |pages=651–658 |doi=10.1038/ng.2270 |issn=1061-4036 |pmc=3372921 |pmid=22561519}}</ref>

Numerous studies demonstrated that the clonal populations might lead to loss of organismal health through the functional decline of tissue and/or the promotion of disease processes, such as cancer. This is the reason why the aberrant clonal expansion (ACE) resulting from cancer-associated mutations are common in noncancerous tissue and accumulate with age. This is universal in most organisms and affects multiple tissues.<ref name=":2">{{cite journal |last1=Risques |first1=Rosa Ana |last2=Kennedy |first2=Scott R. |date=2018-01-04 |title=Aging and the rise of somatic cancer-associated mutations in normal tissues |journal=PLOS Genetics |volume=14 |issue=1 |article-number=e1007108 |doi=10.1371/journal.pgen.1007108 |issn=1553-7404 |pmc=5754046 |pmid=29300727 |doi-access=free }}</ref>

In the hematopoietic compartment mutations include both large structural [[chromosome abnormality|chromosomal alterations]] and point mutations affecting cancer-associated genes. Some translocations appear to occur very early in life. The frequency of these events is low in people younger than 50 years (<0.5%), but this frequency rapidly increases to 2% to 3% of individuals in their 70s and 80s. This phenomenon was termed [[clonal hematopoiesis]]. A number of environmental factors, such as smoking, viral infections, and pesticide exposure, may contribute not only through mutation induction but also by modulation of clonal expansion.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Machiela |first1=Mitchell J. |title=Epidemiology |last2=Zhou |first2=Weiyin |last3=Yeager |first3=Meredith |last4=Jacobs |first4=Kevin |last5=Berndt |first5=Sonja |last6=Lan |first6=Qing |author-link6=Qing Lan |last7=Rothman |first7=Nathaniel |last8=Savage |first8=Sharon |last9=Taylor |first9=Phil R. |date=2013-04-15 |journal=Cancer Research |publisher=American Association for Cancer Research |volume=73 |page=2542 |chapter=Abstract 2542: Evidence for large somatic structural events detected as autosomal genetic mosaicism in GWAS data. |doi=10.1158/1538-7445.am2013-2542 |issue=8_Supplement |last10=deVivo |first10=Immaculata |last11=Hoover |first11=Robert N.}}</ref>

Otherwise, the detection of somatic variants in normal solid tissues has historically proved difficult. The main reasons are the generally slower replicative index, clonally restrictive tissue architecture, difficulty of tissue access, and low frequency of mutation occurrence. Recently, the analysis of somatic mutations in benign tissues adjacent to tumors revealed that 80% of samples harbors clonal mutations, with increased frequency associated with older age, smoking, and concurrent mutations in DNA repair genes. With the advent of NGS, it has become increasingly clear that somatic mutations accumulate with aging in normal tissue, even in individuals who are [[cancer]]-free.<ref name=":2"/>

This suggested that clonal expansions driven by cancer genes are a near-universal feature of aging. NGS technologies revealed that the clonal expansions of cancer-associated mutations are very common condition in somatic tissues.<ref name=":2"/>

==Human somatic variations in brain==
Through several recent studies a prevalence of somatic variations, both in pathological and healthy nervous systems, has been highlighted.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Biesecker |first1=Leslie G. |last2=Spinner |first2=Nancy B. |date=May 2013 |title=A genomic view of mosaicism and human disease |journal=Nature Reviews Genetics |volume=14 |issue=5 |pages=307–320 |doi=10.1038/nrg3424 |pmid=23594909 |s2cid=4494815 |issn=1471-0064}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |last1=Poduri |first1=Annapurna |last2=Evrony |first2=Gilad D. |last3=Cai |first3=Xuyu |last4=Walsh |first4=Christopher A. |date=2013-07-05 |title=Somatic Mutation, Genomic Variation, and Neurological Disease |journal=Science |volume=341 |issue=6141 |article-number=1237758 |doi=10.1126/science.1237758 |issn=0036-8075 |pmid=23828942 |pmc=3909954}}</ref>

Somatic [[aneuploidy]] such as SNVs ([[single-nucleotide variation]]s) and CNVs ([[copy number variation]]s) have been particularly observed and linked to brain disfunctions when arising in prenatal brain development; anyway those somatic aneuploidy have been observed in rates of 1,3-40%, potentially increasing with age and for this reason they have been proposed as a mechanism to generate normal genetic diversity among [[neuron]]s.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Bushman |first1=Diane M. |last2=Chun |first2=Jerold |date=2013-04-01 |title=The genomically mosaic brain: Aneuploidy and more in neural diversity and disease |journal=Seminars in Cell & Developmental Biology |series=WASP/WAVE proteins: expanding members and functions & The role of ploidy variation on cellular adaptation |volume=24 |issue=4 |pages=357–369 |doi=10.1016/j.semcdb.2013.02.003 |pmid=23466288 |pmc=3637860 |issn=1084-9521}}</ref>

The confirmation of that hypothesis has been obtained through studies of [[single-cell sequencing]], which allow a direct assessment of single neuronal genomes, so that a systematic characterization of somatic aneuploidies and subchromosomal CNVs of these cells is possible. Using postmortem brains of both healthy and diseased humans it has been possible to study how CNVs change among these two groups. It emerged that somatic aneuploidies in healthy brains are quite rare, but somatic CNVs instead aren't.<ref name=":4"/>

These studies also showed that clonal CNVs exist in both pathological and healthy brains. This means that some CNVs can arise in early development without causing diseases, even though, when compared to the CNVs arising in other cell types such as [[lymphoblast]], the brain's ones are more often private. This evidence could be given by the fact that, while lymphoblasts can generate clonal CNVs for a long period as they continue to proliferate, adult neurons do not replicate anymore, so the clonal CNVs they are carrying must have been generated in an early development stage.<ref name=":4"/>

Data highlighted a tendency in neurons for the loss, rather than for the gain of copies when compared to lymphoblasts. These differences could suggest that the molecular mechanisms of CNVs arising in that two cell types are completely different.<ref name=":4">{{cite journal |last1=Cai |first1=Xuyu |last2=Evrony |first2=Gilad D. |last3=Lehmann |first3=Hillel S. |last4=Elhosary |first4=Princess C. |last5=Mehta |first5=Bhaven K. |last6=Poduri |first6=Annapurna |last7=Walsh |first7=Christopher A. |date=2014-09-11 |title=Single-Cell, Genome-wide Sequencing Identifies Clonal Somatic Copy-Number Variation in the Human Brain |journal=Cell Reports |volume=8 |issue=5 |pages=1280–1289 |doi=10.1016/j.celrep.2014.07.043 |pmid=25159146 |pmc=4272008 |issn=2211-1247}}</ref>

===L1-associated mosaicism in brain cells===
The [[retrotransposon]] LINE-1 (long interspersed element 1, L1) is a transposable element that has colonized the mammalian germline. L1 retrotransposition can happen also in somatic cells causing mosaicism (SLAVs – L1-associated variations) and in cancer. Retrotransposition is a copy and paste process in which the RNA template is retrotranscribed in DNA and integrated randomly in the genome. In humans there are around 500.000 copies of L1 and occupy 17% of genome. Its [[messenger RNA|mRNA]] encodes for two proteins; one of them in particular has a [[reverse transcriptase]] and [[endonuclease]] activity that allows the retrotransposition in cis. Anyway most part of these copies are rendered immobile by [[mutation]]s or 5' truncation, leaving just about 80–100 mobile L1 per human genome and just about 10 are considered hot L1s so able to mobilize efficiently.<ref name=":1">{{cite journal |last1=Faulkner |first1=Geoffrey J. |last2=Garcia-Perez |first2=Jose L. |date=November 2017 |title=L1 Mosaicism in Mammals: Extent, Effects, and Evolution |journal=Trends in Genetics |volume=33 |issue=11 |pages=802–816 |doi=10.1016/j.tig.2017.07.004 |issn=0168-9525 |pmid=28797643 |doi-access=free|hdl=20.500.11820/dff6b574-0b24-4cf8-a717-e75a6fd8682a |hdl-access=free }}</ref>

L1 transpose using a mechanism called TPRT (target primed reverse transcription) it's able to insert a L1 endonuclease motif, target site duplications (TSD) and a [[polyadenylation|poly-A]] tail with a cis preference.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Luan |first1=D. D. |last2=Korman |first2=M. H. |last3=Jakubczak |first3=J. L. |last4=Eickbush |first4=T.

It has been seen in the past that there's L1 mobilization in neural [[progenitor cell|progenitors]] during foetal and adult [[neurogenesis]] suggesting that the brain may be a L1 mosaicism hotspot. Moreover, some studies suggested that also non-dividing neurons can support L1 mobilization. This has been confirmed by [[single-cell analysis|single-cell]] genomic studies.<ref name=":1"/>

Single-cell [[paired-end sequencing]] experiments found out that SLAVs are present both in [[neuron]]s and [[glia]] of [[hippocampus]] and [[frontal lobe|frontal cortex]]. Any neural cell has a similar probability to contain a SLAV, suggesting that somatic variations are a random phaenomenon, not focused on a specific group of cells. SLAVs occurrence in the brain is estimated to be of 0.58–1 SLAVs per cell and to involve 44–63% of the brain cells.{{cn|date=April 2023}}

Since experiments showed that a half of the analyzed SLAVs lack [[gene duplication|target site duplication]] (TSD), another kind of L1-associated variant might occur. In fact those sequences don't have an endonuclease activity, but still have endonuclease motifs so that they can be retrotransposed [[in trans]].{{cn|date=April 2023}}

An application of the study of somatic mosaicism in the brain could be the tracing of specific brain cells. Indeed, if the somatic L1 insertions occurs in a [[progenitor cell]], the unique variant could be used to trace the progenitor cell's development, localization, and spreading through the brain. On the contrary, if the somatic L1 insertion occurs late in development, it will be present just in a single cell or in a small group of cells. Therefore, tracing somatic variations could be useful to understand at which point of development they have occurred. Further experiments are necessary to understand the role of somatic mosaicism in brain function, since small groups of cells or even single cells can affect [[neural circuit|network]] activity.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Adult neurogenesis: integrating theories and separating functions |journal=Trends in Cognitive Sciences |volume=14 |issue=7 |pages=325–337 |date=2010 |pmc=2904863 |last1=Aimone |first1=J.

==Human somatic variations and the immune system==
Human somatic mutations (HSMs) are intensively exploited by the [[immune system]] for the production of antibodies. HSMs, recombination in particular, are indeed the reason why antibodies can identify an [[epitope]] with such high specificity and sensitivity.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Wardemann |first1=Hedda |last2=Busse |first2=Christian E. |date=2017-07-01 |title=Novel Approaches to Analyze Immunoglobulin Repertoires |journal=Trends in Immunology |volume=38 |issue=7 |pages=471–482 |doi=10.1016/j.it.2017.05.003 |pmid=28566130 |issn=1471-4906}}</ref>

Antibodies are encoded by B cells. Each antibody is composed of two [[immunoglobulin heavy chain|heavy chains]] (IgH, encoded by IGH gene) and two light chains (IgL, encoded by either IGL or IGK gene). Each chain is then composed of a constant region (C) and a variable region (V). The constant region (C) on the heavy chain is important in the BCR signaling and determines the type of immunoglobuline (IgA, IgD, IgE, IgG, or IgM). The variable region (V) is responsible for the recognition of the target epitope and is the product of recombination processes in the related loci.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Padlan |first=E. A. |date=February 1994 |title=Anatomy of the antibody molecule |journal=Molecular Immunology |volume=31 |issue=3 |pages=169–217 |doi=10.1016/0161-5890(94)90001-9 |issn=0161-5890 |pmid=8114766 |url=https://zenodo.org/record/1258337}}</ref>

After exposure of an [[antigen]], B cells start developing. B cells genome undergoes repeated recombination processing on the Ig genes until the recognition of the epitope is perfectioned. The recombination involves the IGH locus first and then the IGL and IGK loci. All IGL, IGK, and IGH genes are the product of the V(D)J recombination process. This recombination involves the variable (V), diversity (D) and joining (J) segments. All three segments (V, D, J) are involved in the formation of the heavy chain, while only V and J recombination products encode for the light chain.<ref name=":0">{{cite journal |last1=Imkeller |first1=Katharina |last2=Wardemann |first2=Hedda |date=2018 |title=Assessing human B cell repertoire diversity and convergence |journal=Immunological Reviews |volume=284 |issue=1 |pages=51–66 |doi=10.1111/imr.12670 |pmid=29944762 |issn=1600-065X |doi-access=free}}</ref>

The recombination between these regions allows the formation of 10<sup>12</sup>–10<sup>18</sup> potential different sequences. However, this number is an overestimation, since many factors contribute to limit the diversity of the B cell repertoire, first of all the actual number of B cell in the organism.<ref name=":0"/>
