Cis-regulatory mutations associate with transcriptional and post-transcriptional deregulation of gene regulatory programs in cancers.

Abstract excerpt

Most cancer alterations occur in the noncoding portion of the human genome, where regulatory regions control gene expression. The discovery of noncoding mutations altering the cells' regulatory programs has been limited to few examples with high recurrence or high functional impact. Here, we show that transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) have similar mutation loads to those in protein-coding exons. By...
