Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Defects in replication repair-associated DNA polymerases often manifest an ultra-high tumor mutational burden (TMB), which is associated with higher probabilities of response to immunotherapies. The functional and clinical implications of different polymerase variants remain unclear. METHODS: Targeted next-generation sequencing using a 425-cancer gene panel, which covers all exonic regions of three...
