the 1970s from studying metaphases from human blood lymphocytes (Jacobs et al., 1963) and bone marrow (Pierre and Hoagland, 1972), is mosaic loss of the Y chromosome (LOY) in males during aging, which has now been widely confirmed with more advanced technology.LOY is defined as a lowerthan-expected abundance of DNA from the Y chromosome with a certain threshold of detection, for example, as 10% or more of affected cells (Dumanski et al., 2016).In a recent study of 205,011 men from the UK Biobank, LOY was found to affect from 2.5% of men at age 40 to 43.6% at age 70, which makes it the most common de novo somatic mutation over the human lifetime (Thompson et al., 2019).LOY frequency has been associated with a shorter lifespan, a higher risk of cancer, smoking, Alzheimer's disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, immune deficiencies, and other age-related diseases (Dumanski et al., 2016;Loftfield et al., 2018;Thompson et al., 2019).LOY has a genetic component, and in the aforementioned UK Biobank study, more than 150 autosomal genetic determinants of LOY were identified in the male cohort.LOY is most likely a general biomarker for genome instability in somatic cells.Indeed, the loci found to be genetically associated with LOY in males were themselves genetically associated, in a female cohort, with female cancers (breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer) and age at natural menopause (Thompson et al., 2019).Of note, early menopause has been genetically associated with DNA damage response (DDR) genes (Day et al., 2015).Based on these results, it is tempting to speculate that the association of LOY with a diverse series of age-related pathologies points toward a causal role of somatic mutations in aging and age-related disease." }, {

population-based studies may yet yield new molecular targets.Studies in mice suggest that heterozygosity of SMC1β, a conserved meiosis-specific cohesin subunit, predisposes to aneuploidy (Murdoch et al., 2013).Deletion of both copies of SMC1β predisposes to agerelated loss of bivalent structures and therefore to aneuploidy in mouse oocytes (Hodges et al., 2005).The haploinsufficiency studies are

extraordinary rate of chromosome errors, and the majority derive from the oocyte (Hassold and Hunt, 2001).In natural conceptions that reach clinical recognition, 35% of human pregnancies are aneuploid.The rate observed in preimplantation embryos is substantially higher, in part because aneuploid embryos have poor developmental potential and are selected against during the peri-implantation stages and throughout foetal life (Capalbo et al., 2014).In natural conception, more than 90% are of meiotic origin and the majority are caused by errors in meiosis I (Hassold and Hunt, 2001;Gabriel et al., 2011).In reproductive aged women, 20-30% of occytes (and up to 70% of oocytes in advanced maternal age (AMA) women) are aneuploid, while just 1-8% of spermatozoa are afflicted (Lu et al., 2012;Wang et al., 2012).In sperm, the incidence of aneuploidy is independent of paternal age (Erickson, 1978;Hassold and Hunt, 2001;Lu et al., 2012;Wang et al., 2012).The analyses of aneuploidy in miscarriages have been invaluable for our appreciation of the serious consequences chromosomal imbalances have for embryonic and foetal development, since a much higher

selfish spermatogonial selection, that occurs in the testes of adult men as they age.However, because the testis contains germ cells that, upon fertilization, will carry the genetic information across generations, this process has important reproductive implications, being associated with an increased prevalence of pathogenic DNMs in the next generation.Despite the relatively low average human germline point mutation rate of ∼1.2 × 10 −8 per nucleotide per generation (Kong et al. 2012;Goldmann et al. 2016;Jonsson et al. 2017), specific \"selfish\" DNMs in FGFR2, FGFR3, HRAS, PTPN11, and RET are observed up to 1000-fold more frequently in offspring (Goriely and Wilkie 2012).These pathogenic mutations, which cause developmental disorders that show an extreme paternal bias in origin and an epidemiological paternal age-effect (collectively referred to as PAE disorders; e.g., achondroplasia; Apert, Costello, and Noonan syndromes; multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2a/b), are identical (or allelic) to oncogenic driver mutations in tumors (Goriely and Wilkie 2012).We have proposed that although they arise at the normal background rate in male germline stem cells (spermatogonia), selfish mutations alter the behavior of spermatogonia within the testis.In a process akin to oncogenesis, these gain-of-function mutations provide a selective advantage that may involve increasing the rate of symmetrical divisions of the mutant spermatogonia (Qin et al. 2007;Choi et al. 2008Choi et al. , 2012;;Giannoulatou et al. 2013;Yoon et al. 2013;Martin et al. 2014), leading to their clonal expansion
