15 Genetic Mutations That Have Left Scientists Puzzled

15 Genetic Mutations That Have Left Scientists Puzzled
Mutations are common across the human race. They are caused by the changing structure of a cell, which sometimes results in a grotesque physical deformity. While some mutations are not as apparent as others, most are extremely visible to the outside world.

Mutations happen when our DNA is damaged or changed for some reason or another. But how does this happen? Well, the DNA in our cells doesn’t duplicate properly, leading to abnormalities that our body cannot handle.

Our DNA can be damaged by UV rays, exposure to certain chemicals and of course, radiation. This is why we should all wear sunscreen on a daily basis to avoid skin cancer. Speaking of cancer, it’s actually the most common human genetic disease; it is caused by mutations occurring in a number of our genes over a certain period of time. Sometimes these cancerous genes can exist within us from birth, which significantly increases our chance of getting the horrible disease.

However, mutations are not always negative. In fact, while many mutations can be subtle or even fashionable. People nowadays are even controlling the genetic makeup of their unborn children, by playing around with the gene pool via invitro fertilization.

Here’s a list of genetic mutations that scientists can’t explain.
