Mutation

Mutation: A permanent change, a structural alteration, in the DNA or RNA. In humans and many other organisms, mutations occur in DNA. However, in retroviruses like HIV, mutations occur in RNA which is the genetic material of retroviruses.

Mutations of the p53 tumour suppressor gene are also associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer. In most non-inherited breast cancers, genetics also play a part - but probably through mutations that develop later in life.

somatic mutation
An alteration in DNA that occurs after conception. Somatic mutations can occur in any of the cells of the body except the germ cells (sperm and egg) and therefore are not passed on to children.
