In a pan‐cancer analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas data, it was observed that CCDC168 did not display any called mutations in the stomach adenocarcinoma (STAD) cohort despite being reported in other tumor types. Detailed evaluation revealed that this absence was not due to differences in oncogenic driver biology but instead was caused by a systematic insufficiency in sequencing read‐depth. Such under‐representation arose from the use of an exome capture kit (particularly the Broad Institute’s Custom kit) that results in inadequate coverage for a subset of genes—including CCDC168—leading to false negative mutation calls. This observation underscores an important technical caveat: that the apparent lack of mutations in genes like CCDC168 can reflect capture kit biases rather than true biological inactivity. In this context, while CCDC168 itself is not directly implicated as a typical driver of tumorigenesis, its case exemplifies how technical artifacts can mask genuine mutation patterns in cancer genomic studies."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Victor G Wang, Hyunsoo Kim, Jeffrey H Chuang "}, {"type": "b", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Whole-exome sequencing capture kit biases yield false negative mutation calls in TCGA cohorts."}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " "}, {"type": "i", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "PLoS One (2018)"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " DOI: "}, {"type": "a", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "10.1371/journal.pone.0204912"}], "href": "https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0204912"}, {"type": "t", "text": " PMID: "}, {"type": "a", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "30281678"}], "href": "https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30281678"}]}]}]}
