Targeting metabolism has emerged as a potentially effective therapeutic strategy for cancers such as pancreatic cancer, which are driven by genetic alterations that are not tractable drug targets. Although somatic mitochondrial genome (mtDNA) mutations have been observed in various tumors types, understanding of metabolic genotype-phenotype relationships is limited %K Pancreas %K Mitochondria %K Metabolomics %K Glutamine %K Lipid %K Genome %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5282905/
