Enrichment of colibactin-associated mutational signatures in unexplained colorectal polyposis patients
2023-06-06
Abstract excerpt
Colibactin, a genotoxin produced by polyketide synthase harboring ( pks + ) bacteria, induces double-strand breaks and chromosome aberrations. Consequently, enrichment of pks + Escherichia coli in colorectal cancer and polyposis suggests a possible carcinogenic effect in the large intestine. Additionally, specific colibactin-associated mutational signatures; SBS88 and ID18 in the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in...
