Clinicopathological and mutational analyses of colorectal cancer with mutations in the POLE gene

Abstract excerpt

Here, we investigated the clinicopathological and mutation profiles of colorectal cancer (CRC) with POLE mutations. Whole-exome sequencing was performed in 910 surgically resected primary CRCs. Tumors exceeding 500 counts of nonsynonymous single nucleotide variants (SNVs) were classified as hypermutators, whereas the remaining were classified as nonhypermutators. The hypermutators were subdivided into 2 groups....
