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

Driver mutations in histone H3.3 and chromatin remodelling genes in paediatric glioblastoma

Jeremy Schwartzentruber, +66 more
- 09 Feb 2012 - 
TL;DR: The presence of H3F3A/ATRX-DAXX/TP53 mutations was strongly associated with alternative lengthening of telomeres and specific gene expression profiles, suggesting that defects of the chromatin architecture underlie paediatric and young adult GBM pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

International network of cancer genome projects

Thomas J. Hudson, +273 more
TL;DR: Systematic studies of more than 25,000 cancer genomes will reveal the repertoire of oncogenic mutations, uncover traces of the mutagenic influences, define clinically relevant subtypes for prognosis and therapeutic management, and enable the development of new cancer therapies.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours

David Capper, +171 more
- 22 Mar 2018 - 
TL;DR: This work presents a comprehensive approach for the DNA methylation-based classification of central nervous system tumours across all entities and age groups, and shows that the availability of this method may have a substantial impact on diagnostic precision compared to standard methods.
