Abstract excerpt
Pan-cancer studies sketched the genomic landscape of the tumor types spectrum. We delineated the purity- and ploidy-adjusted allele-specific profiles of 4,950 patients across 27 tumor types from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Leveraging allele-specific data, we reclassified as loss of heterozygosity (LOH) 9% and 7% of apparent copy-number wild-type and gain calls, respectively, and overall observed more than 18...
