Abstract excerpt
The structural maintenance of chromosomes (SMC) 5/6 complex is conserved and essential for mammalian development. SMC5/6 germline variants in cells, model organisms, and patients results in genome instability. However, the consequences of somatic SMC5/6 dysfunction in cancer are unknown. We report a pan-cancer analysis of SMC5/6 variants across three databases in which thousands of tumors across all tissue types...
