Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alterations in nuclear pore complex (NPC) genes have been previously associated with response to chemotherapy. Using agnostic exome sequencing, we envisioned that new alleles in NPC genes, predictive of sensitivity to platinum treatment, could be discovered. METHODS: Twenty-two platinum-sensitive and six platinum-resistant ovarian cancer patients were tested. Platinum sensitivity was defined as...
