Abstract excerpt
To characterize somatic alterations in colorectal cancer (CRC), we conducted a genome-scale analysis of 106 CRC specimens. We assessed comprehensive somatic copy number alterations (SCNAs) in these CRC specimens. In addition, we examined microsatellite instability (MSI; low and high), genetic mutations (KRAS, BRAF, TP53, and PIK3CA), and DNA methylation status (classified into low, intermediate, and high type)....
