Whole-Organ Genomic Characterization of Mucosal Field Effects Initiating Bladder Carcinogenesis
1 Feb 2019
Abstract excerpt
We used whole-organ mapping to study the locoregional molecular changes in a human bladder containing multifocal cancer. Widespread DNA methylation changes were identified in the entire mucosa, representing the initial field effect. The field effect was associated with subclonal low-allele frequency mutations and a small number of DNA copy alterations. A founder mutation in the RNA splicing gene, ACIN1, was...
