TL;DR: More than 1,000 somatic mutations found in 274 megabases of DNA corresponding to the coding exons of 518 protein kinase genes in 210 diverse human cancers reveal the evolutionary diversity of cancers and implicates a larger repertoire of cancer genes than previously anticipated.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The protein-kinase family is the most frequently mutated gene family found in human cancer and faulty kinase enzymes are being investigated as promising targets for the design of antitumour therapies as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: The results suggest that several mutated protein kinases may be contributing to lung cancer development, but that mutations in each one are infrequent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutation analysis of 24 known cancer genes in the NCI-60 cell line set.

TL;DR: Identification of those cancer genes mutated in the NCI-60, in combination with pharmacologic and molecular profiles of the cells, will allow for more informed interpretation of anticancer agent screening and will enhance the use of the NCi-60 cell lines for molecularly targeted screens.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Hypermutation Phenotype and Somatic MSH6 Mutations in Recurrent Human Malignant Gliomas after Alkylator Chemotherapy
Christopher I. Hunter,Raffaella Smith,Daniel P. Cahill,Philip J. Stephens,Claire Stevens,Jon W. Teague,Christopher Greenman,Sarah Edkins,Graham R.

Levine,Wolf Mueller,Tracy T. Batchelor,David N. Louis,Michael R. Stratton,P. Andrew Futreal,Richard Wooster +54 more
TL;DR: The evidence suggests that when MSH6 is inactivated in gliomas, alkylating agents convert from induction of tumor cell death to promotion of neoplastic progression, and the potential of large scale sequencing for revealing and elucidating mutagenic processes operative in individual human cancers is highlighted.
