Scoop.it!
Genome-sequencing studies indicate that all humans carry many genetic variants predicted to cause loss of function (LoF) of protein-coding genes, suggesting unexpected redundancy in the human genome. It is estimated that human genomes typically contain ~100 genuine LoF variants with ~20 genes completely inactivated. A recent paper in Science describes some of these rare and likely deleterious LoF alleles, including 26 known and 21 predicted severe disease–causing variants, as well as common LoF variants in nonessential genes.
