Incidence of commonly mutated genes amongst the cohort and TCGA database

 

 

The most commonly mutated genes include KRAS (Baylor 88.1% vs. TCGA 90.7%) and TP53 (Baylor 77.9% vs. TCGA 69.3%). KRAS VAF ranged from 1.7%-42.2%. TP53 VAF ranged from 2.1%-57.4%. CDKN2A VAF ranged from 5.1%-36.2%, and 5/22 CDKN2A alterations were copy number losses. SMAD4 VAF ranged from 4.1%-33.2%, and 4/14 SMAD4 alterations were copy number losses.
