Recurrent exon-deleting activating mutations in AHR act as drivers of urinary tract cancer

This paper documents the discovery of a new driver mutation in bladder cancer, present in ~10% of the studied cancer patients. The mutation is a deletion of exons 8 and 9 in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) gene. SORT-seq analysis confirmed that a transformed, tumor-related expression profile arose due to mutated AHR in mouse bladder organoids.
