Genetic variation attributable to distinct biological processes. Variants detected by genetic testing may fall into at least four categories, including inherited germline variants, post-zygotic somatic mosaic mutations, lineage-restricted somatic mutations, such as in age-related clonal hematopoiesis, and somatic mutations related to cancer (neoplasia)
