In this work, mutations in NAMPT and NAPRT1 genes were identified in normal tissues and tumor samples. Some mutations presented different frequencies, which can be explained by the population of origin of the samples. Evaluation of the structural and functional impact of these mutations indicates that they can be relevant in a disease context.
