Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Novel and targetable mutations are needed for improved understanding and treatment of lung cancer in never-smokers. METHODS: Twenty-seven lung adenocarcinomas from never-smokers were sequenced by both exome and mRNA-seq with respective normal tissues. Somatic mutations were detected and compared with pathway deregulation, tumor phenotypes and clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Although somatic mutations in...
