mosaicism's Usage Examples:

An estimated 2 percent to 4 percent of families into which an infant with OI type II is born are at risk of having another affected child because of gonadal mosaicism.

Subsequently, however, researchers concluded that the rare recurrence of OI to a couple with a child with autosomal dominant OI is more likely due to gonadal mosaicism.

Mosaicism refers to the presence of cells of two different genetic materials in the same individual.

Another feature of fragile X syndrome is that mosaicism is present in 15 to 20 percent of those affected by the condition.

Faivre, L., et al. "Recurrence of achondrogenesis type II within the same family: evidence for germline mosaicism."

We do occasionally find mosaicism in chorion villous cells obtained by the CVS test at 12 weeks gestation.

somatic mosaicism was not observed in three other lines examined, further emphasizing a role for flanking DNA in modulating repeat stability.

Specifically, in 2% of patients, the mutated TSC gene is not detected in either parent because of germline mosaicism.

Furthermore, the only abnormal genes were found in abnormal lung and kidney tissue, arguing against genetic mosaicism.

Such gross somatic mosaicism was not observed in three other lines examined, further emphasizing a role for flanking DNA in modulating repeat stability.
