Signatures of mutational processes in human cancer

Ludmil B. Alexandrov, +84 more
- 22 Aug 2013 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that hypermutation localized to small genomic regions, ‘kataegis’, is found in many cancer types, and this results reveal the diversity of mutational processes underlying the development of cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the breast cancer susceptibility gene BRCA2

TL;DR: The identification of a gene in which six different germline mutations in breast cancer families that are likely to be due to BRCA2 are detected, and results indicate that this is the BRC a2 gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patterns of somatic mutation in human cancer genomes

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

Systematic identification of genomic markers of drug sensitivity in cancer cells

TL;DR: It was found that mutated cancer genes were associated with cellular response to most currently available cancer drugs, and systematic pharmacogenomic profiling in cancer cell lines provides a powerful biomarker discovery platform to guide rational cancer therapeutic strategies.
