Undiscovered? What are you talking about?
10% of our genes certainly aren’t remaining to be discovered.
Of course you could invoke the Rumsfeld “unknown unknowns” (As I remember it “there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know.”)
But seriously, 5 – 10% is reasonable for the number of genes / DNA segments which have copy number differences between “normal” people (called CNV). And 5- 10 % is a reasonable amount of the genome which remains to be assembled in the big jigsaw puzzle called the genome.
Calling either of these “undiscovered” would be a stretch!
