Structural variations in gastric cancer impact progression. Here, the authors perform whole-genome sequencing on 168 gastric cancer patients and identified tandem-duplications of super-enhancer ZFP36L2 in 10% of gastric cancer, and mutational signatures in tumors with cadherin 1 mutations that associated with poor prognoses.
