Characterization of colibactin-associated mutational signature in an Asian oral squamous cell carcinoma and in other mucosal tumor types.

Abstract excerpt

Mutational signatures can reveal the history of mutagenic processes that cells were exposed to before and during tumorigenesis. We expect that as-yet-undiscovered mutational processes will shed further light on mutagenesis leading to carcinogenesis. With this in mind, we analyzed the mutational spectra of 36 Asian oral squamous cell carcinomas. The mutational spectra of two samples from patients who presented...
