Systematic mapping of BCL-2 gene dependencies in cancer reveals molecular determinants of BH3 mimetic sensitivity

Dependency of diverse cancers on specific BCL-2 family members and their combinations is unknown. Here they perform drug screening and find most cell lines to be dependent on at least one combination of BCL-2 family members, and using a CRISPR screen find BCL-w and BFL-1 to mediate resistance to BH3...
