Discovery and saturation analysis of cancer genes across 21 tumour types

Abstract: SummaryWhile a few cancer genes are mutated in a high proportion of tumors of a given type (>20%), most are mutated at intermediate frequencies (2–20%). To explore the feasibility of creating a comprehensive catalog of cancer genes, we analyzed somatic point mutations in exome sequence from 4,742 tumor-normal pairs across 21 cancer types. We found that large-scale genomic analysis can identify nearly all known cancer genes in these tumor types. Our analysis also identified 33 genes not previously known to be s… Show more

“…The Drosophila melanogaster homolog of SPOP, Roadkill/HIB, is essential for early development (Kent et al , 2006). Recent efforts to sequence the cancer genome have identified many mutations in SPOP that are associated with cancers (Lawrence et al , 2014), notably prostate (Kim et al , 2013), breast (Kim et al , 2011), endometrial (Le Gallo et al , 2012), and gastric (Kim et al , 2013) cancers [Appendix Fig S1 and www.cbioportal.org (Cerami et al , 2012; Gao et al , 2013)]. SPOP contains three domains; it recruits substrates through its MATH ( m eprin a nd t raf h omology) domain (Zhuang et al , 2009), forms dimers through its BTB ( b ric à brac, t ramtrack, b road complex) domain (Zhuang et al , 2009; Errington et al , 2012), and forms either dimers or tetramers through its BACK ( B TB a nd C ‐terminal K elch) domain (Errington et al , 2012; van Geersdaele et al , 2013 and Fig 1A).…”

“…To further evaluate MaxMIF's ability to identify responsible drive genes, we compared it with five well‐regarded methods Mutation_Assessor (Mut_Ass),7 MutSig2.0,11 MutSigCV,12 ContrastRank,20 and MUFFINN21 using somatic mutation datasets from 19 cancer types (see the details in Table S2, Supporting Information). Since ContrastRank is targeted at colon cancer (COAD), lung cancer (LUAD), and prostate adenocarcinomas (PRAD), we excluded it when the comparison was based on the average performance across the 19 cancer types, and further compared it with MaxMIF on the two common cancer cohorts (Figure S14, Supporting Information).…”

“…MaxMIF is also superior to MUFFINN,21 MutSig2.0,11 MutSigCV,12 and Mutation_Assessor7 in identifying driver genes in 19 individual cancer types in terms of AUC and F1 scores. Moreover, MaxMIF also outperforms ContrastRank20 on three different colon, lung, and prostate cancer types.…”

“…Depuis qu'en 1982, un gène muté unique a été déclaré comme suffisant pour générer une tumeur [14], le nombre de ces gènes mutés cruciaux a augmenté sans cesse. Pour s'accommoder de cette tournure inattendue des événements, les recherches demandent un effort gargantuesque de séquençage, qui devrait être réalisé sur 2 000 tumeurs pour chacun des 50 types tumoraux, correspondant à environ 100 000 tumeurs [15]. Par ce séquençage « massivement parallèle », les mutations des cellules cancéreuses ont été arbitrairement classées comme putativement causales (mutations drivers ou conductrices) et comme non pertinentes (mutations passengers) [16].…”
