Enzyme family-centred approach identifies helicases as recurrent hemizygous tumour suppressor genes

Karolin Voßgröne, Francesco Favero, Krushanka Kashyap…·Claus Storgaard Sørensen

The paper identifies helicases as frequently mutated enzyme families in cancer, showing their role in genomic instability and DNA repair defects, with AQR as a novel hemizygous tumor suppressor.
