Abstract excerpt
The analysis of tumour genome sequences has demonstrated high rates of base substitution mutagenesis upon the inactivation of DNA mismatch repair (MMR), and the resulting somatic mutations in MMR deficient tumours appear to significantly enhance the response to immune therapy. A handful of different algorithmically derived base substitution mutation signatures have been attributed to MMR deficiency in tumour...
