Abstract excerpt
Recent studies of the cancer genome have identified numerous patients harboring multiple mutations (MM) within individual oncogenes. These MM (de novo MM) in cis synergistically activate the mutated oncogene and promote tumorigenesis, indicating a positive epistatic interaction between mutations. The relatively frequent de novo MM suggest that intramolecular positive epistasis is widespread in oncogenes. Studies...
