Polymerase Epsilon-Associated Ultramutagenesis in Cancer
12 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
With advances in next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, efforts have been made to develop personalized medicine, targeting the specific genetic makeup of an individual. Somatic or germline DNA Polymerase epsilon (PolE) mutations cause ultramutated (>100 mutations/Mb) cancer. In contrast to mismatch repair-deficient hypermutated (>10 mutations/Mb) cancer, PolE-associated cancer is primarily microsatellite...
