Overall gene alterations from swab acquired tumor samples (patients 2–30) is similar to landscape of TCGA cervical squamous cell carcinoma dataset.

Abstract

(A) Ninety-four percent (1339/1430) of altered genes in baseline samples (defined as substitutions, insertions or deletions in gene) were also identified in the TCGA dataset, suggesting accurate identification of mutated genes related to cervical cancer. (B) The distribution of the top 30 most altered genes in study samples 2–30 and in TCGA(C) was also similar. (TIF)</p
