Abstract:e13580 Background: BM are a rare occurrence in ovarian cancer (OC) and their molecular characteristics is virtually unknown. DNA damage repair (DDR) deficiency is prevalent in OC, and co-mutated TP53 and any DDR denotes high tumor mutation burden (TMB). We genetically characterized a unique series of high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) patients who developed BM to identify alterations of potential clinical relevance. Methods: Whole-exome sequencing (2x150bp, SureSelectXT Library Prep Kit, Illumina’s Nova… Show more
