Somatic. The term somatic means 'of the body' - relating to the body. In medicine, somatic illness is bodily, not mental illness. The term is often used in biology to refer to the cells of the body in contrast to the germ line cells which usually give rise to the gametes.
A somatic mutation is a genetic mutation which occurs in a somatic cell after conception. These mutations can lead to a variety of medical issues, and lay people commonly associate them specifically with cancers.f a somatic mutation occurs in utero, all of the cells descended from the somatic cell will carry the mutation. This results in a situation called genetic mosaicism, in which some of the cells in someone's body have DNA which is different from other cells.
