Pervasive Induction of Regulatory Mutation Microclones in Sun-exposed Skin
2024-09-16
Abstract excerpt
Carcinogen-induced mutations are thought near-random, with rare cancer-driver mutations underlying clonal expansion. Using high-fidelity Duplex Sequencing to reach a mutation frequency sensitivity of 4×10 -9 per nt, we report that sun exposure creates pervasive mutations at sites with ∼100-fold UV-sensitivity in RNA-processing gene promoters – cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer (CPD) hyperhotspots – and these mutations...
