Estimating the Frequency of Single Point Driver Mutations across Common Solid Tumours

Abstract excerpt

For cancers, such as common solid tumours, variants in the genome give a selective growth advantage to certain cells. It has recently been argued that the mean count of coding single nucleotide variants acting as disease-drivers in common solid tumours is frequently small in size, but significantly variable by cancer type (hypermutation is excluded from this study). In this paper we investigate this proposal...
