<i>APOBEC3B</i> expression in breast cancer reflects cellular proliferation, while a deletion polymorphism is associated with immune activation
17 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
Genomic sequencing studies of breast and other cancers have identified patterns of mutations that have been attributed to the endogenous mutator activity of APOBEC3B (A3B), a member of the AID/APOBEC family of cytidine deaminases. A3B gene expression is increased in many cancers, but its upstream drivers remain undefined. Furthermore, there exists a common germ-line deletion polymorphism (A3B(del)), which has...
