The team integrated three, complementary gene sequencing approaches to look for mutations in tumor cells from SS patients: whole - genome sequencing in six subjects, sequencing of all protein - coding regions (exomes) in 66 subjects, and comparing variation in the number of copies of all genes across the genome in 80 subjects.
But the diagnostic test, which checks to see if a patient's tumor carries a mutation in a gene coding for anaplastic lymphoma kinase, called ALK, is just $ 250.
Researchers from the University of Chicago and the Beijing Institute of Genomics estimate that the tumor, about 3.5 centimeters in diameter, contained more than 100 million distinct mutations within the coding regions of its genes — thousands of times more than expected.
We observed an average of 14.5 «tier 1» (coding) mutations per tumor in the 24 WGS cases; on average, ~ 3 of these affected recurrently mutated genes in M1 tumors, and ~ 2 affected recurrently mutated genes in M3 tumors.
We find any mutations in the tumor that are not in the germline, and identify which of those are novel, protein - coding variants.
Variations in the genetic code, from single point mutations to large structural or copy number alterations, influence susceptibility, onset, and progression of genetic diseases and tumor transformation.
