Gain- and loss-of-function mutations in the breast cancer gene GATA3 result in differential drug sensitivity

Abstract:

Patterns of somatic mutations in cancer genes provide information about their functional role in tumourigenesis and thus indicate their potential for therapeutic exploitation. Yet, the classical distinction between oncogene and tumour suppressor may not always apply. For instance, TP53 has been simultaneously associated with tumour suppressing and promoting activities. Here, we uncover a similar phenomenon for GATA3, a frequently mutated, yet poorly understood breast cancer gene. We identify ...
