Tumor mutation burden forecasts outcome in ovarian cancer with BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations.

<h4>Background</h4>Increased number of single nucleotide substitutions is seen in breast and ovarian cancer genomes carrying disease-associated mutations in BRCA1 or BRCA2. The significance of these genome-wide mutations is unknown. We hypothesize genome-wide mutation burden mirrors defi...
