While every human being is unique, from a genetic standpoint, there is only 0.1% difference among the genomes of every person. The consequences of a mutation can vary depending on the part of the genome affected. The term \u201cmutation\u201d refers to any change in the DNA sequence, regardless of its pathogenecity on a gene or chromosome. There are also \u201cvariants.\u201d A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated sequence is passed down to the next generation. But DNA variations (knowns as \u201cpolymorphisms\u201d) are also, by definition, mutations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-1431","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/1431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
