Most Common Somatic Mutations in Cancer

Here is a list of most common mutations in cancer genes.  This list is from a recent PLoS ONE article and it contains 60 most common mutations in 15 cancer genes.




A much longer list with 4000 genes is at COSMIC (Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer) database of Wellcome Trust Sanger institute.
