Japanese version of The Cancer Genome Atlas, JCGA, established using fresh frozen tumors obtained from 5143 cancer patients.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to establish the Japanese Cancer Genome Atlas (JCGA) using data from fresh frozen tumor tissues obtained from 5143 Japanese cancer patients, including those with colorectal cancer (31.6%), lung cancer (16.5%), gastric cancer (10.8%) and other cancers (41.1%). The results are part of a single-center study called "High-tech Omics-based Patient Evaluation" or "Project HOPE" conducted at the Shizuoka Cancer Center, Japan. All DNA samples and most RNA samples were analyzed using whole-exome sequencing, cancer gene panel sequencing, fusion gene panel sequencing and microarray gene expression profiling, and the results were annotated using an analysis pipeline termed "Shizuoka Multi-omics Analysis Protocol" developed in-house. Somatic driver alterations were identified in 72.2% o
