Germline <i>APOBEC3B</i> deletion in Asian women increases somatic hypermutation in breast cancer that is associated with Her2 subtype, <i>PIK3CA</i> mutations, immune activation, and increased survival
2020-06-05
Abstract excerpt
A 30-kb deletion that eliminates the coding region of APOBEC3B ( A3B ) is >5 times more common in women of Asian compared to European descent. This polymorphism creates a chimera with the APOBEC3A ( A3A ) coding region and A3B 3’UTR, and is associated with an increased risk for breast cancer in Asian women. Here, we explored the relationship between the A3B deletion polymorphism with tumour characteristics i...
