Hypermutation and unique mutational signatures of occupational cholangiocarcinoma in printing workers exposed to haloalkanes

These occupational cholangiocarcinoma cases shared a high mutation burden, strand bias and unique trinucleotide mutational signatures, suggesting that the patients might have been exposed to a common strong mutagen. The underlying mechanisms of mutagenesis should be further investigated.
