The sentences
This could either be due to the more limited number of highly significant mutation clusters that were identified in these other tumor types ( n = 16 for BRCA and n = 23 for LGGGBM) but most likely also reflects the higher incidence of non-coding mutations in gene-promoter regions in SKCM.
