Whole-genome sequencing identifies ADGRG6 enhancer mutations and FRS2 duplications as angiogenesis-related drivers in bladder cancer

Bladder cancer is one of the most common and highly vascularized cancers. Here the authors perform a whole-genome analysis in urothelial bladder carcinomas and identify recurrent genetic alterations in a set of angiogenesis genes, facilitating the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying pat...

Description
Summary:Bladder cancer is one of the most common and highly vascularized cancers. Here the authors perform a whole-genome analysis in urothelial bladder carcinomas and identify recurrent genetic alterations in a set of angiogenesis genes, facilitating the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying pathological angiogenesis in this type of cancer.
