Germline genetic determination of cancer progression and survival
2019-03-13
Abstract excerpt
We report the surprising finding that common germline polymorphisms of APOE , present in approximately 39% of Caucasians, predict survival outcomes in human melanoma. Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas revealed that carriers of the APOE2 variant experienced shorter survival relative to APOE3 homozygotes, while APOE4 variant carriers exhibited increased survival. Consistent with this, melanoma growth in human...
