Abstract excerpt
Somatic hypermutation in cancer has gained momentum with the increased use of tumour mutation burden as a biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitors. Spontaneous deamination of 5-methylcytosine to thymine at CpG dinucleotides is one of the most ubiquitous endogenous mutational processes in normal and cancer cells. Here, we performed a systematic investigation of somatic CpG hypermutation at a pan-cancer level. We...
