Therapeutic implications of cancer gene amplifications without mRNA overexpression: silence may not be golden

Abstract Amplifications of oncogenic genes are often considered actionable. However, not all patients respond. Questions have therefore arisen regarding the degree to which amplifications, especially non-focal ones, mediate overexpression. We found that a subset of high-level gene amplifications (≥ ...
