"Gene Sequencing Projects Link Two Mutations to Ewing Sarcoma Subtype with Poor Prognosis," St. Jude Children’s Research Center/The University of Tennessee Health Science Center

An international collaboration has identified frequent mutations in two genes that often occur together in Ewing sarcoma (EWS) and that define a subtype of the cancer associated with reduced survival. The research, conducted by the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital-Washington University Pediatric Cancer Genome Project and the Institut Curie-Inserm through the International Cancer Genome Consortium, appears in the current issue of the scientific journal Cancer Discovery.
