Key Points

A positive correlation exists between gene size and the frequency of missense mutations in oncogenes with segmental duplications.
This association was observed across 33 different cancer types represented in TCGA, emphasizing the significance of genetic factors.
The findings suggest that tumor suppressor genes with segmental duplications are particularly susceptible to somatic deletions.
Understanding these patterns may provide insights for targeted cancer therapies and genetic screening strategies.
