Mutational Heterogeneity in APC and KRAS Arises at the Crypt Level and Leads to Polyclonality in Early Colorectal Tumorigenesis

The majority of genomic alterations causing intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) in colorectal cancer are thought to arise during early stages of carcinogenesis as a burst but only after truncal mutations in have expanded a single founder clone. We have investigated if the initial source of ITH is conse...
