(3/3) This is a great example of how DepMap enables discoveries beyond sequencing, revealing novel therapeutic targets like PELO

This was a wonderful close collaboration with Ed Chan’s team. Huge thanks to Patricia Borck, Isabella Boyle & our amazing team!

MSI-H → TTC37 mutations disrupt SKI function
9p21.3 deletion → FOCAD loss destabilizes the SKI complex

SKIc disruption -> PELO dependency

Both MSI-H and 9p21.3 deletion are frequent in many adult tumors making PELO a potential target for a large patient population
