Abstract excerpt
The STAG2 tumor suppressor gene is commonly inactivated by mutations in a wide range of common cancer types. STAG2 encodes a component of the cohesin complex, which controls sister chromatid cohesion and 3D genome organization. In bladder cancer, STAG2 mutations are most common in the earliest low-grade lesions, suggesting that mutational inactivation of STAG2 may be an initiating event. To provide insight into...
