Independent analysis of SCNAs from three publicly available data sets comprising 430 tumors (Baca et al., 2013; Barbieri et al., 2012; Consortium TCGA, 2015), including 47 SPOP mutant prostate cancers, confirmed that the rearrangement-associated deletions (Figure 1—figure supplement 1) were those enriched in SPOP mutant prostate cancer (Figure 1E). Here, SPOP is linked to prostate cancer.
