Quick Overview

Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line with TERT promoter mutations and genomic alterations.

Detailed Summary

SNU-475 is a human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell line derived from a male patient. It exhibits frequent TERT promoter mutations, which are associated with increased telomerase activity and tumor progression. The cell line shows genomic instability with losses on chromosome Y and other regions, and it is used in studies related to HCC biology and drug response. SNU-475 is part of a panel of cell lines used for understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms of liver cancer.
