A comprehensive genomic mutation profiling analysis of adenoid cystic carcinoma

In a brief report published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation, researchers led by Andrew Futreal of the Cancer Genome Project, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute in Cambridge, United Kingdom, reported on a whole exome sequencing performed in 24 adenoid cystic carcinoma cases. They uncovered the involvement of multiple cancer genes that are likely to be contributing to tumour development in the context of MYB activation. Read more here.
