Abstract
The identification of driver genes is of great importance in modern medical research. It is also an essential factor in the development of individualization and has a positive effect on understanding the causes of cancer. Gene mutations are the primary cause of the outcomes of the process of tumorigenesis. Driver genes can be used as therapeutic targets for tumor-specific mutation-dependent overexpression. This study sought to identify mutation-based driver genes in gastric cancer (GC) by applying comprehensive gene expression and copy number analysis. Multiplatform analysis was used to identify four major genomic subtypes of GC. The most prominent cancer-related variations observed in this cohort were TTN mutations (found in 56% of tumors), followed by TP53 (51%), MUC16 (7%), and LRP1B (6%) mutations. In our analysis, mutation characteristics were mainly related to the DNA mismatch repair system. In addition, 34 candidate driver oncogenes were identified in GC. Further research identified six GC-related driver genes associated with the levels of immune infiltration of different immune cells and the majority of immune markers. Our mutation-based study of driver oncogenes identified potential drug targets in GC.
