Whole-genome duplication shapes the aneuploidy landscape of human cancers
2021-05-05
Abstract excerpt
Aneuploidy – a hallmark of cancer – has tissue-specific recurrence patterns suggesting it plays a driving role in cancer initiation and progression. However, the contribution of aneuploidy to tumorigenesis depends on the cellular and genomic context in which it arises. Whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a common macro-evolutionary event that occurs in >25% of human tumors during the early stages of tumorigenesis. A...
