Analysis of protein-coding genetic variation in 60,706 humans

Monkol Lek, +106 more
- 18 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: The aggregation and analysis of high-quality exome (protein-coding region) DNA sequence data for 60,706 individuals of diverse ancestries generated as part of the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) provides direct evidence for the presence of widespread mutational recurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutational heterogeneity in cancer and the search for new cancer-associated genes

Michael S. Lawrence, +96 more
- 11 Jul 2013 - 
TL;DR: A fundamental problem with cancer genome studies is described: as the sample size increases, the list of putatively significant genes produced by current analytical methods burgeons into the hundreds and the list includes many implausible genes, suggesting extensive false-positive findings that overshadow true driver events.

Analysis of protein-coding genetic variation in 60,706 humans

Monkol Lek, +72 more
- 30 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: The aggregation and analysis of high-quality exome (protein-coding region) sequence data for 60,706 individuals of diverse ethnicities generated as part of the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) provides direct evidence for the presence of widespread mutational recurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic landscape of high-risk neuroblastoma

Trevor J. Pugh, +76 more
- 01 Mar 2013 - 
TL;DR: The authors reported a low median exonic mutation frequency of 0.60 per Mb (0.48 nonsilent) and notably few recurrently mutated genes in high-risk neuroblastoma.
