A further issue is that tracking
mutations through bulk
analysis of cells is typically based on certain assumptions as to how
mutations arise and what their
frequencies mean.
The Reproducibility Project did not attempt to replicate this finding, but subsequent studies have reported the
frequency of PREX2
mutations in human melanoma (Hodis et al., 2012; Krauthammer et al., 2012; Marzese et al., 2014; Ni et al., 2013; Turajlic et al., 2012), including meta -
analysis of 241 melanomas (Xia et al., 2014).
Bethesda, Md., Wed., May 1, 2013 - A comprehensive genomic
analysis of nearly 400 endometrial tumors suggests that certain molecular characteristics - such as the
frequency of
mutations - could complement current pathology methods and help distinguish between principal types of endometrial tumors, as well as provide insights into potential treatment strategies.
A clustering
analysis of mutant allele
frequencies suggested that there were four clones (tumor subpopulations) in the primary tumor defined by distinct sets of
mutations.
Analysis of larger cohorts will provide information about the
frequency and kinetics of PARPi reversion
mutations in this patient population.
Dr. Cole's project, «Mechanistic Derivation of Germ Line
Mutation by Genome - Wide Mouse Tetrad
Analysis,» will help define the global patterns of de novo germ line
mutations and the
frequencies at which such
mutations occur in mice, with the long term goal of understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying germ line mutagenesis and developing strategies to prevent or treat disorders caused by such
mutations.
