A structure-based tool to interpret the significance of kinase mutations in clinical next generation sequencing in cancer by Amith Rangarajan, Ilona Sviezhentseva, Emma Gunderson, Yana Pikman, Yana Pikman, Matthew P. Jacobson, Beth Apsel Winger, Beth Apsel Winger

“…With the explosion of clinical NGS data and the concurrent availability of protein structures through the Protein Data Bank and protein models through programs such as AlphaFold, there exists an unprecedented opportunity to use structural information to help standardize NGS analysis with the overall goal of advancing personalized cancer therapy.MethodsUsing the Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC), the largest curated database of clinical cancer mutations, we mapped thousands of missense mutations in the kinase and juxtamembrane (JM) domains of 48 receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) onto structurally aligned kinase structures, then clustered known activating mutations along with VUSs based on proximity in three-dimensional structure. …”
