The oncological relevance of fragile sites in cancer

In this Perspective, Simpson, Pye, and Whitaker discuss recent research identifying structural genomic variants in human cancers with a particular focus on deletions and duplications at genomic fragile sites.

Sumario:In this Perspective, Simpson, Pye, and Whitaker discuss recent research identifying structural genomic variants in human cancers with a particular focus on deletions and duplications at genomic fragile sites. They argue that tumours with predominantly fragile site structural variants represent a distinct mutational signature that warrants further research.
