Does this effect or render incomplete the results people get from services like 23 And Me? The doctor treating the baby had to do multiple DNA tests to verify the mosaicness, and was only able to determine the 5%/12% bad cells in the heart right/left after it was removed.

It definitely changes a few gene results. An interesting and related topic to mosaicism is chimerism, where in the case of Lydia Fairchild, she was told her daughter wasn't hers because of different DNA populations in the mother's body. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Fairchild https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Fairchild
