Abstract

MHC-I exposes the intracellular contents to immune cells for surveillance of cellular health. Due to high genomic variation, individuals' immune systems differ in their ability to expose and eliminate cancer-causing mutations. These personalized immune blind spots create specific oncogenic mutation predispositions within patients and influence their prevalence across populations.
