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

Lung cancer: intragenic ERBB2 kinase mutations in tumours.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Somatic mutations of the histone H3K27 demethylase gene UTX in human cancer

TL;DR: UTX reintroduction into cancer cells with inactivating UTX mutations resulted in slowing of proliferation and marked transcriptional changes, identifying UTX as a new human cancer gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

A systematic, large-scale resequencing screen of X-chromosome coding exons in mental retardation.

Patrick S. Tarpey, +79 more
- 01 May 2009 - 
TL;DR: The coding exons of the X chromosome in 208 families with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) are sequenced, the largest direct screen for constitutional disease-causing mutations thus far reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Somatic Mutations of the Protein Kinase Gene Family in Human Lung Cancer

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.
