A recent study published by Sjoblom and colleagues [T. Sjoblom, S. Jones, L.D. Wood, D.W. Parsons, J. Lin, T.D. Barber, D. Mandelker, RJ. Leary,J. Ptak, N. Silliman, S. Szabo, P. Buckhaults, C. Farrell, P. Meeh, S.D. Markowitz,J. Willis, D. Dawson,J.K. Willson, A.F. Gazdar, J. Hartigan, L. Wu, C. Liu, G. Parmigiani, B.H. Park, K.E. Bachman, N. Papadopoulos, B. Vogelstein, K.W. Kinzler, V.E. Velculescu, The consensus coding sequences of human breast and colorectal cancers. Science 314 (2006) 268-274.] performed comprehensive sequencing of 13,023 human genes and identified mutations in genes specific to breast and colorectal tumors, providing insight into organ-specific tumor biology. Here we present a systematic analysis of the functional classifications of Sjoblom's "CAN" genes, a subset of these validated mutant genes, that identifies novel organ-specific biological themes and molecular pathways associated with disease-specific etiology. This analysis links four somatically mutated genes associated with diverse oncological types to colorectal and breast cancers through established TGF-beta 1-regulated interactions, revealing mechanistic differences in these cancers and providing potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets.
