Pathway-centric multi-omics and functional precision medicine reveal shared drug vulnerabilities in heterogeneous adult Wilms tumor

Minttu Polso, Romika Kumari, Tamara J. Luck, Piia Mikkonen, Katja Välimäki, Ruusu‐Maaria Merivirta, Minna Malmstedt, Johanna Lehtonen, Erika Romppanen, Sara Kuusela, Antti Hassinen, Janna Saarela, Teijo S. Pellinen, Panu Jaakkola, Pia Suonpää, , Vilja M. Pietiäinen

This study identifies shared drug vulnerabilities in adult Wilms tumor through multi-omics and functional assays, showing pathway-level dependencies predict drug responses better than single-gene biomarkers.
