👉 In molecular biology, homoplasmy is a type of genetic mutation that occurs between two genes. It refers to a situation where one gene produces a protein with an identical amino acid sequence to another gene's protein but without any of its essential function or activity. This can occur due to various factors such as mutations in the DNA or errors in transcription, translation, and/or secretion. Homoplasmy can affect multiple genes simultaneously, leading to a range of health problems including muscle wasting, cognitive impairment
