Mutations involved in lung cancer
In large-sale genomics study, mutations associated with lung cancer, the leading cause of cancer death, were examined in 188 primary tumour samples. More than 600 genes with known or potential links to lung adenocarcinoma were sequenced, of which 26 were mutated at high frequency suggestive of a direct role in carcinogenesis.
