Respiratory complex and tissue lineage drive mutational patterns in the tumor mitochondrial genome
2020-08-18
Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) encodes essential protein subunits and translational machinery for four distinct complexes of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Using repurposed whole-exome sequencing data, we demonstrate that pathogenic mtDNA mutations arise in tumors at a rate comparable to the most common cancer driver genes. We identify OXPHOS complexes as critical determinants shaping somatic mtDNA mutation patter...
