Supplementary Figure 14 from Tumor Suppressor Genes with Segmental Duplications Are Prone to Somatic Deletions and Structural Variations

Key Points

A positive correlation exists between SD repeat number and somatic non-CNA SV frequency in tumor suppressor genes.
Data from 37 TCGA cancers indicates structural variations are more common in genes with higher segmental duplications.
The study utilizes comprehensive genomic data to analyze variations in tumor suppressor genes influenced by segmental duplications.
Understanding these relationships could enhance approaches to cancer research and therapy focused on genetic variations.
