). Tumors that lack telomerase may activate the alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway, a break-induced replication (BIR) process (Fig. 3c, middle) suppressed by ATRX26. Indeed, we found that neotelomeres were significantly more common in tumors harboring truncating mutations in ATRX...
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the most common tumors in females and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women1,2. Approximately 5–8% of patients with BC have distant metastasis at initial presentation3. Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is regarded as an incurable disease and...
Left side, top: the minimal common denominator of HD leukemia is always a bi-parental derived tetrasomy 21, irrespective of whether it arises in a constitutional normal or trisomic individual.
