Driver Mutations Behave Differently Based on Context, Study Finds

A new analysis of tumor data from the MSK-IMPACT dataset revealed that the effects of cancer driver mutations differ based on their context, and that HLA alleles vary considerably by ancestry. Both findings have potential therapeutic implications.
