Using genomic data, this Analysis demonstrates that commonly inherited single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) occurring in genes of the p53 pathway affect the incidence of a broad range of cancers, more so than SNPs in other pathways. This has implications for p53-mediated tumour suppression in humans.
This Analysis article discusses characterization of the kinome in human cancers through genomic, proteomic and functional genomic analyses. In particular, it presents an analysis of cancer genomic data to derive a new census of protein kinase cancer drivers.
