Abstract excerpt
Mutations associated with tumorigenesis may either arise somatically or can be inherited through the germline. We performed a comparison of somatic, germline, shared (found in both soma and germline) and somatic recurrent mutational spectra for 17 human tumor suppressor genes, which focused upon missense single base-pair substitutions and microdeletions/microinsertions. Somatic and germline mutational spectra...
