[31]: Significantly mutated genes with a false discovery rate (FDR) q < 0.001 after analysis with MuSiC algorithm are indicated. Mutated genes are shown from the most (CASP8) to the least (KMT2B) significant. A different statistical analysis performed using MutSigCV algorithm identified only three genes (CDKN2A, CASP8, and TP53) as significantly mutated. [30]: The sign plus (+) indicates the genes mutated in two RDEB-SCCs, RDEB-SCC1 and RDEB-SCC2, with variant allele frequency (VAF) > 45%. The complete list of significantly mutated genes with VAF > 20% is available in Ref. 30 as supplementary material. Values within the cells indicate VAF for NOTCH pathway members and PRDM9; the only mutated gene shared between RDEB-SCC1 and RDEB-SCC2. [7]: Significantly mutated genes were identified by at least two out of three algorithms used (MutSigCV, Oncodrive-FM and Oncodrive-CLUST). [33]: Targeted sequencing using the OncoPanelv2 platform. Significantly mutated genes were determined by MutSigCV (q-value ≤ 0.1). N/P = Not Profiled. [32]: Genes were identified as significant by MutSigCV algorithm or by at least two out of three other algorithms.
