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

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

HRPT2 mutations are associated with malignancy in sporadic parathyroid tumours

TL;DR: The results in this study support the role of HRPT2 as a tumour suppressor gene in sporadic parathyroid carcinoma, and provide further evidence for HRPT 2 as the causative gene in HPT-JT, and a subset of FIHP.
