Therefore, we sequenced the whole exomes of 98 HCCs from two hospitals in Taiwan and found that 78 % showed the distinctive mutational signature of AA exposure, accounting for most of the nonsilent mutations in known cancer driver genes.

Researchers from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, found that the rates of spontaneous mutation in DNA — a key driver of evolution — rise very steeply as temperatures increase.

Most tumors contain fewer than 10 of the driver mutations, but the number of total mutations — passenger and driver — can climb far higher, from a dozen or so in neuroblastoma to approximately 200 in lung cancer.

Her group uncovered that pediatric high - grade astrocytomas (HGA) are molecularly and genetically distinct from adult tumors.They also identified a new molecular mechanism driving pediatric HGA, namely recurrent somatic driver mutations in the tail of histone 3 variants (H3.3 and H3.1).

Most distant metastases acquired driver mutations not seen in the primary tumor, drawing from a wider repertoire of cancer genes than early drivers.

The afternoon session began with from Zurich student Ishani Banik (SWISS2) who presented her ongoing work using zebrafish melanoma models to perform in vivo screening of functional novel oncogenic driver mutations.

The Cancer Gene Census (CGC) database contains 547 such gene across various cancer types.5 Remarkably, few driver genes having specific point mutations appear to be sufficient to rewire signalling networks in cancer, 1 which at the same time shows that — at least from the mutational side — cancer does not consist of an «infinite» number of different diseases, and in many cases treatment options targeted against driver genes might be transferred from one case to the next.
