- Genes involved in cancer are under constant evolutionary pressure, potentially resulting in diverse molecular properties. In this study, we explore 23 omic features from publicly available databases to define the molecular profile of different classes of cancer genes. Cancer genes were grouped according to mutational landscape (germline and somatically mutated genes), role in cancer initiation (cancer driver genes) or cancer survival (survival genes), as well as being implicated by genome-wide association studies (GWAS genes). For each gene, we also computed feature scores based on all omic features, effectively summarizing how closely a gene resembles cancer genes of the respective class. In general, cancer genes are longer, have a lower GC content, have more isoforms with shorter exons, are expressed in more tissues and have more transcription factor binding sites than non-cancer genes. We found that germline genes more closely resemble single tissue GWAS genes while somatic genes are more similar to pleiotropic cancer GWAS genes. As a proof-of-principle, we utilized aggregated feature scores to prioritize genes in breast cancer GWAS loci and found that top ranking genes were enriched in cancer related pathways. In conclusion, we have identified multiple omic features associated with different classes of cancer genes, which can assist prioritization of genes in cancer gene discovery.
