Haploinsufficiency networks identify targetable patterns of allelic deficiency in low mutation ovarian cancer

Cancers accumulate multiple single copy number alterations, but their impact is unclear. Here, the authors computationally demonstrate a disruption of genes associated with autophagy in ovarian cancer, show impact on autophagic flux, and note the efficacy of autophagy drugs in preclinical models.
