Abstract:ID 55303 Poster Board 246A range of somatic alterations in both oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes promote cancer development. Synthetic lethal relationships or collateral lethalities have emerged in the context of these genetic driver mutations, revealing new targets for therapeutic development. Most variation within cancer genomes results from germline, as opposed to somatic, mutations, but the genetic dependencies engendered by these variants have not been systematically explored. We sought to define the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
