From WikiMD's Wellness Encyclopedia

Vel is a medical term that refers to a specific type of genetic mutation that can cause a variety of health conditions. The term is derived from the Latin word for "veil," which is used to describe the way this mutation can mask the presence of other genetic traits.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The mutation is caused by a change in a specific gene, which can be passed down from parents to their children.

The Vel mutation is caused by a change in a specific gene. This gene is responsible for producing a protein that plays a crucial role in the body's cells. When this gene is mutated, it can cause the protein to function improperly, leading to a variety of health conditions.
