Proteogenomics reveals markers of chemotherapy resistance and outcome in triple negative breast cancer

Broad Institute

The team then conducted analyses that triangulated treatment response, chromosomal deletion or gain, and concordant decreases or increases in mRNA and protein expression. Of the hundreds of genes deleted in this location, the DNA ligase gene LIG1 was one of the mostly consistently suppressed genes at both the mRNA and protein level.
