Mutation Diversity in Human Body

Logan G Paul

Mutations are changes in the genetic code that can lead to harmful effects, such as genetic diseases and disorders. However, some dangerous mutations can also have unexpected benefits. For example, the sickle cell mutation provides protection against malaria, and the CCR5 mutation provides protection against HIV. Researchers are also exploring how dangerous mutations can be used to develop new treatments for genetic disorders, such as using a mutation associated with Huntington's disease to develop new cancer treatments. While dangerous mutations can have negative effects, it is important to continue studying their potential benefits in order to fully understand their impact on human health.
