Genetic oddity (6)

I believe the answer is:

mutant

(Other definitions for mutant that I've seen before include "Organism that has diverged from type" , "Living thing that has undergone genetic change" , "A product of genetic change" , "badly bred" , "Genetically changed form" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
