Germline mutation rate predicts cancer mortality across 37 vertebrate species

2023-08-15

Abstract excerpt

The explanation for why some species are more susceptible to cancer than others remains an area of intense investigation. Cancer evolves in part through the accumulation of mutations and, therefore, we hypothesized that germline mutation rates would be associated with cancer prevalence and mortality across species. We collected previously published data on germline mutation rate and cancer mortality data for 37 ve...
