A study published in Nature elucidates the genomic landscape of colorectal cancer (CRC). Researchers performed whole-genome sequencing of CRC samples from participants in the UK 100,000 Genomes Project. Analysis of the samples (n = 2,023) identified >250 putative driver genes of CRC and characterized subgroups of CRC. For example, the researchers clustered microsatellite-stable CRC into four distinct subgroups and also characterized rare CRC subgroups. In addition, they identified a potential role in CRC for the mutational signature SBS93, among others.

描述结直肠癌的基因组景观
《自然》杂志上发表的一项研究阐明了结直肠癌 (CRC) 的基因组图谱。研究人员对英国 100,000 基因组计划参与者的 CRC 样本进行了全基因组测序。对样本 ( n = 2,023) 的分析确定了 >250 CRC 的推定驱动基因和 CRC 亚组的特征。例如,研究人员将微卫星稳定的 CRC 分为四个不同的亚组,并描述了罕见的 CRC 亚组。此外,他们还发现了突变特征 SBS93 等在 CRC 中的潜在作用。
