Abstract excerpt
Aged normal tissues harbour cancer mutations predisposing to transformation. However, how different pro-oncogenic events in the human colon compare in frequency, behaviour and subsequent transformation risk remains unclear. Here, we analyse mutation hotspot regions in five colorectal cancer genes (APC, KRAS, TP53, FBXW7 and CTNNB1) using targeted sequencing of 76,800 normal colonic glands from 56 patients. We...
