Why Are Some Driver Mutations Rare?

Abstract excerpt

Understanding why driver mutations that promote cancer are sometimes rare is important for precision medicine since it would help in their identification. Driver mutations are largely discovered through their frequencies. Thus, rare mutations often escape detection. Unlike high-frequency drivers, low-frequency drivers can be tissue specific; rare drivers have extremely low frequencies. Here, we discuss rare...
