How often is each gene mutated within the cancer patient population?

Abstract

Genome sequenced samples from cancer patients helped identify roles of different mutation types and enabled targeted therapy development. However, critical questions like what are the gene mutation rates among the patients? or what genes are most commonly mutated, pan-cancer? have only been recently answered. Here, we highlight this recent advance.
