| Abstract |
Sequencing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TGCA), the International Cancer Genome Consortium and other research institutes have revealed the presence of genetic alterations in several tumor types, including gastric cancer. These data have been combined into a catalog of significantly mutated genes for each cancer type. However, it is unclear to what extent significantly mutated genes need to be examined for detecting genetic alterations in gastric cancer patients. Here, we constructed two custom-made sequencing panels of different scales, the Selective hotspot Panel and the Comprehensive Panel, to analyze genetic alterations in 21 resected specimens endoscopically obtained from 20 gastric cancer patients, and we assessed how many mutations were detectable using these different panels. A total of 21 somatic mutations were identified by the Selective hotspot Panel and 70 mutations were detected by the Comprehensive Panel. All mutations identified by the Selective hotspot Panel were detected by the Comprehensive Panel, with high concordant values of the variant allelic fraction of each mutation (correlation coefficient, R = 0.92). At least one mutation was identified in 13 patients (65 %) by the Selective hotspot Panel, whereas the Comprehensive Panel detected mutations in 19 (95 %) patients. Library preparation and sequencing costs were comparable between the two panels. Our results indicate the utility of comprehensive panel-based targeted sequencing in gastric cancer. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 October 2016.
All research outputs
#20,349,664
of 22,896,955 outputs
Outputs from BMC Genomics
#9,299
of 10,673 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#271,450
of 314,045 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Genomics
#174
of 223 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,896,955 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,673 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.7. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 314,045 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 223 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
