HotSPOT: a computational tool to design targeted sequencing panels to assess early photocarcinogenesis
2022-12-05
Abstract excerpt
Mutations found in skin are acquired in specific patterns, clustering around mutation-prone genomic locations. The most mutation-prone genomic areas, mutation hotspots, first induce the growth of small cell clones in healthy skin. Mutations accumulate over time, and driver mutation clones may give rise to skin cancer. Early mutation accumulation is a crucial first step in photocarcinogenesis. Therefore, a sufficie...
