Negative Genetic

Mutations/deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, but when combined in the same cell results in a more severe fitness defect or lethality under a given condition. This term is reserved for high or low throughput studies with scores.

Genome-wide CRISPR screening reveals genetic modifiers of mutant EGFR dependence in human NSCLC.

Zeng H, Castillo-Cabrera J, Manser M, Lu B, Yang Z, Strande V, Begue D, Zamponi R, Qiu S, Sigoillot F, Wang Q, Lindeman A, Reece-Hoyes JS, Russ C, Bonenfant D, Jiang X, Wang Y, Cong F

EGFR-mutant NSCLCs frequently respond to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, the responses are not durable, and the magnitude of tumor regression is variable, suggesting the existence of genetic modifiers of EGFR dependency. Here, we applied a genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening to identify genetic determinants of EGFR TKI sensitivity and uncovered putative candidates. We show that knockout of RIC8A, essential for ...
