Pan-Cancer Comparative and Integrative Analyses of Driver Alterations Using Japanese and International Genomic Databases.

We present a genetic landscape of 26 principal cancer types/subtypes, including Asian-prevalent ones, in Japanese patients. Multicohort data integration unveils numerous cooccurring and exclusive relationships between driver mutations, identifying cooccurrence of multiple mutations in epigenetic regulators, which coordinately cause transcriptional and phenotypic changes. These findings provide insights into epigenetic regulator-driven oncogenesis. This article is featured in Selected Articles from This Issue, p. 695.
