Genomic landscape of liver cancer

Nature Genetics volume 44, pages 1075–1077 (2012)Cite this article

Subjects

A new exome sequencing study of individuals with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) reveals imprints of mutagenic exposure and identifies new genes contributing to tumorigenesis. This work joins several recent publications reporting whole-genome, exome and RNA sequencing in HCC, which together provide a comprehensive genomic landscape and new insights into the etiology of liver cancer.
