We analyzed 131 human brains (44 neurotypical, 19 with Tourette syndrome, 9 with schizophrenia, and 59 with autism) for somatic mutations after whole genome sequencing to a depth of more than 200×. Typically, brains had 20 to 60 detectable single-nucleotide mutations, but ~6% of brains harbored hundreds of somatic mutations. Hypermutability was associated with age and damaging mutations in genes implicated in cancers and, in some brains, reflected in vivo clonal expansions. Somatic duplications, likely arising during development, were found in ~5% of normal and diseased brains, reflecting background mutagenesis. Brains with autism were associated with mutations creating putative transcription factor binding motifs in enhancer-like regions in the developing brain. The top-ranked affected motifs corresponded to MEIS (myeloid ectopic viral integration site) transcription factors, suggesting a potential link between their involvement in gene regulation and autism.

Mutations provide an enduring record Somatic mutations pepper our cells with change, but because they are not in the germline, they do not propagate to the next generation. Bizzotto et al. leveraged data on the distribution of somatic mutations in adults to take a backward look at the earliest moments of human development. Calculation of cellular lineages on the basis of shared somatic mutations shows the number of cells from which the body will develop when the human embryo gastrulates. The lineage for forebrain cells is identifiable, as are the asymmetrical fates spun out of many of the gastrula cells. Science , this issue p. 1249

Single-cell diversity in the brain The cells that make up an organism may all start from one genome, but somatic mutations mean that somewhere along the line of development, an organism's individual cellular genomes diverge. McConnell et al. review the implications and causes of single-cell genomic diversity for brain function. Somatic mutations caused by mobile genetic elements or errors in DNA repair may underlie certain neuropsychiatric disorders. Science , this issue p. eaal1641
