Pan-cancer genomic analysis shows hemizygous PTEN loss tumors are associated with immune evasion and poor outcome

Abstract In tumors, somatic mutations of the PTEN suppressor gene are associated with advanced disease, chemotherapy resistance, and poor survival. PTEN loss of function may occur by inactivating mutation, by deletion, either affecting one copy (hemizygous loss) leading to reduced gene expression or...
