Abstract excerpt
Polyketide synthase (pks) island harboring Escherichia coli are, under the right circumstances, able to produce the genotoxin colibactin. Colibactin is a risk factor for the development of colorectal cancer and associated with mutational signatures SBS88 and ID18. This study explores colibactin-associated mutational signatures in biallelic NTHL1 and MUTYH patients. Targeted Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) was...
