Abstract excerpt
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an aggressive disease with a high degree of tumor heterogeneity. Genetic lesions of mTOR-related genes, including TSC2 and hyperactivation of mTOR signaling, are common in HCC. However, the association of genetic alterations with hepatocarcinogenesis remains unclear. In this study, continuous truncating mutations occurred within or upstream of the TSC2 Rap_GAP domain in clinical...
