Possible involvement of silent mutations in cancer pathogenesis and evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Recent studies have shown that some silent mutations can be harmful to various processes. In this study, we performed a comprehensive in silico analysis to elucidate the effects of silent mutations on cancer pathogenesis using exome sequencing data derived from the Cancer Genome Atlas. We focused on the codon optimality scores of silent mutations, which were defined as the difference between the optimality of...
