APOBEC affects tumor evolution and age at onset of lung cancer in smokers
21 May 2025
Abstract excerpt
Most solid tumors harbor somatic mutations attributed to off-target activities of APOBEC3A (A3A) and/or APOBEC3B (A3B). However, how APOBEC3A/B enzymes affect tumor evolution in the presence of exogenous mutagenic processes is largely unknown. Here, multi-omics profiling of 309 lung cancers from smokers identifies two subtypes defined by low (LAS) and high (HAS) APOBEC mutagenesis. LAS are enriched for A3B-like...
