Abstract excerpt
Mutual exclusivity (ME) and co-occurrence (CO) of oncogenic mutations reflect functional antagonism or dependence and may inform therapeutic strategies. However, most studies overlook variant-level patterns. We performed a comprehensive, cross-cohort analysis of BRAF, KRAS, and EGFR mutation subtypes using 64,807 cBioPortal tumor samples, 1570 cancer cell lines, and 2714 Belgian clinical cases. Across all...
