Loss of Y chromosome (LOY) is the most commonly occurring post-zygotic (somatic) mutation in male individuals. The past decade of research suggests that LOY has important effects in shaping the activity of the immune system, and multiple studies have shown the effects of LOY on a range of diseases, including cancer, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease and acute infection. Epidemiological findings have been corroborated by functional analyses providing insights into the mechanisms by which LOY modulates the immune system; in particular, a causal role for LOY in cardiac fibrosis, bladder cancer and Alzheimer disease has been indicated. These insights show that LOY is a highly dynamic mutation (such that LOY clones expand and contract with time) and has pleiotropic, cell-type-specific effects. Here, we review the status of the field and highlight the potential of LOY as a biomarker and target of new therapeutics that aim to counteract its negative effects on the immune system. Loss
