Abstract

The most popular approach to explain cancer is based on the discovery of oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes as a preliminary step in estimating their impact on altered pathways. The present paper proposes a pipeline which aims at detecting "weak" or "indirect" functions impacted by Copy Number Variations (CNVs) of cancer-related genes, integrating such signals over all known oncogenes/tumor suppressor genes of a cancer type. We applied the pipeline to the task of detecting the aberrant functional effects of these alterations across ovarian cancer patients from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data.
