| genetic mutation | 8.62 | The condition is caused by a genetic mutation. | ||
| random mutation | 1.38 | Theoretically, such a random mutation could strike anyone. | ||
| new mutation | 1.18 | New mutations are key. | ||
| natural mutation | 0.79 | These were sports, or natural mutations. | ||
| different mutation | 0.72 | They identified three different mutations among the cases. | ||
| same mutation | 0.59 | He has a sister and a son with the same genetic mutation. | ||
| particular mutation | 0.53 | But doctors cannot always tell how dangerous a particular mutation is. | ||
| inherited mutation | 0.39 | Wallace has proposed that the inherited mutations are somehow related to mitochondria. | ||
| single mutation | 0.39 | But in rare instances, a single mutation has a dramatic adaptive effect. | ||
| specific mutation | 0.39 | The cloning of the CF gene enables the association of phenotype with a specific mutation. | ||
| hereditary mutation | 0.33 | He said the hereditary mutations do not appear similar to those found in non-inherited cancer. | ||
| adverse mutation | 0.26 | The study also found that humans have retained a much larger proportion of adverse mutations in their genome than have other animals, like mice and rats. | ||
| bad mutation | 0.26 | So it presumably lets more bad mutations live on. | ||
| dangerous mutation | 0.26 | This is a tumor-suppressor gene, and it ordinarily kills cells that contain dangerous mutations. | ||
| deleterious mutation | 0.26 | Suppose now that deleterious mutations are age-specific. | ||
| disease-causing mutation | 0.26 | Muller showed that large doses of X-rays greatly increased disease-causing mutations in the genes of fruit flies. | ||
| harmful mutation | 0.26 | In the older, more stable environments, yeast that reproduced sexually had fewer harmful mutations. | ||
| minor mutation | 0.26 | A minor mutation should be deemed an eccentricity and nothing more. | ||
| small mutation | 0.26 | The other mode depends on occasional small mutations, like the changes in the parameters of protozoa. | ||
| spontaneous mutation | 0.26 | They may have resulted from a spontaneous mutation, Bartke said, or from a mutation caused by radiation. |
