RAS mutation status predicts survival and patterns of recurrence in patients undergoing hepatectomy for colorectal liver metastases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
ObjectiveTo determine the impact of RAS mutation status on survival and patterns of recurrence in patients undergoing curative resection of colorectal liver metastases (CLM) after preoperative modern chemotherapy.BackgroundRAS mutation has been reported ...

Gene characteristics predicting missense, nonsense and frameshift mutations in tumor samples

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2018
Background Because driver mutations provide selective advantage to the mutant clone, they tend to occur at a higher frequency in tumor samples compared to selectively neutral (passenger) mutations.

Germline and somatic mtDNA mutations in mouse aging. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
The accumulation of acquired mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) mutations with aging in somatic cells has been implicated in mitochondrial dysfunction and linked to age-onset diseases in humans.

Somatic genetic alterations predict hematological progression in GATA2 deficiency

open access: yesHaematologica, 2023
Germline GATA2 mutations predispose to myeloid malignancies resulting from the progressive acquisition of additional somatic mutations. Here we describe clinical and biological features of 78 GATA2-deficient patients.

Age-related somatic mutation burden in human tissues

open access: yesFrontiers in Aging, 2022

Genomic catastrophes frequently arise in esophageal adenocarcinoma and drive tumorigenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Oesophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) incidence is rapidly increasing in Western countries. A better understanding of EAC underpins efforts to improve early detection and treatment outcomes.

Population dynamics of normal human blood inferred from somatic mutations

open access: yesNature, 2018
Haematopoietic stem cells drive blood production, but their population size and lifetime dynamics have not been quantified directly in humans. Here we identified 129,582 spontaneous, genome-wide somatic mutations in 140 single-cell-derived haematopoietic

Mutations of the BRAF gene in human cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Cancers arise owing to the accumulation of mutations in critical genes that alter normal programmes of cell proliferation, differentiation and death. As the first stage of a systematic genome-wide screen for these genes, we have prioritized for analysis ...

Site-specific selection reveals selective constraints and functionality of tumor somatic mtDNA mutations. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have indicated that tumor mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations are primarily shaped by relaxed negative selection, which is contradictory to the critical roles of mtDNA mutations in tumorigenesis.

Uncovering the profile of somatic mtDNA mutations in Chinese colorectal cancer patients. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
In the past decade, a high incidence of somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations has been observed, mostly based on a fraction of the molecule, in various cancerous tissues; nevertheless, some of them were queried due to problems in data quality ...
