what is the difference between those mutation types

I'm a newbie in genetics, and I'm struggling to understand the difference between those terms:

  1. Rare Mutation

  2. De Novo Mutation

  3. Mosaic Mutation

  4. Germline Mutation

Also, is every rare mutation considered de novo?

Your help is highly appreciated!
