Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) is the fourth most lethal cancer in China. Previous studies reveal several highly conserved mutational processes in ESCC. However, it remains unclear what are the true regulators of the mutational processes. RESULTS: We analyzed the somatic mutational signatures in 302 paired whole-exome sequencing data of ESCC in a Chinese population for potential regulators...
