Key Points

Tumor suppressor genes show a significant tendency towards somatic deletions when near segmental duplications.
The analysis indicated a p-value of less than 0.05, confirming a statistically significant pattern among gene distributions.
Observational analysis using boxplots illustrated the distance distribution of various gene types to their nearest segmental duplications.
These findings emphasize the importance of structural variations in the context of tumor biology and genomic stability.
