Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: The identification of additional therapeutic targets by clinical molecular profiling is necessary to expand the range of molecular-targeted cancer therapeutics. This study aimed to identify novel functional tumor-specific single nucleotide variants (SNVs) in the kinase domain of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), from whole-exome sequencing (WES) data. MATERIALS AND METHODS: SNVs were selected from...
