Abstract

By identifying cancer driver genes involved in tumorigenesis, whole-exome sequencing (WES) analyses enable the development of robust biomarkers and novel therapeutic targets to reach precision oncology. WES analyses were performed in matched gastric cancer-normal gastric tissues from two patients. We compared genes highlighted with those of a database and recent WES/whole-genome sequencing studies. We identified 32 highlighted gastric cancer genes, two of these (DEFB118 and RNF43) may provide future potential clinical implications. Definitive evidence on extensive genetic heterogeneity suggests the need for large-scale next-generation sequencing studies to validate gastric cancer driver genes catalog. This list represents the foundation for developing genome-based biomarkers to guide precision gastric cancer treatment.
