Abstract: Whole genome doubling (WGD) in cancer is associated to genomic instability, recurrent alterations in cell cycle control genes, high levels of copy number alterations and a poor prognosis, but its global effect on the transcriptional programs is unknown. This work consists of a differential gene expression analysis between colorectal and lung adenocarcinoma tumors with and without WGD using RNA-sequencing public data. We have identified the molecular mechanisms and biological processes associated, putting special attention to immune evasion strategies. We show a negative correlation between WGD and antitumor immune response in both colorectal and lung adenocarcinoma tumors. In addition, we find metabolic changes in colorectal tumors and changes in cell division pathways and DNA replication in lung tumors. Overall, these results potentially explain the aggressiveness and poor prognosis associated with tumors that have undergone WGD.
