On the relationship between penetrance-model
... There are ~6 x 109 humans on earth, and thus ~12 x 109 copies of each autosomal chromosome. Assuming a mutation rate of ~1 x 108, every single nucleotide will be mutated (~12 x 109) / (~1 x 108) = ~120 in each new generation of earthlings. Thus, every nucleotide will be polymorphic in Homo sapiens, ...
