Figure 2: Recurrent genetic alterations in pancreatic cancer and their effect on disease outcome.

(a) Representation of the mutations identified in chromatin modifying and other recurrently mutated genes. Each patient sample is indicated as a grey box with mutations indicated in green or black. (b) Analyses of overall survival revealed that patients wild type for MLL gene alterations (n=87) had a significantly lower median survival compared with those with mutated MLL genes (n=14; median survival 15.3 months versus not reached respectively, P=0.0063, log-rank test). (c) Similar analyses revealed significantly improved survival in patients with mutations in either MLL or ARID1A genes (n=20) compared with those that were wild type for any of these genes (n=81).
