Soft tissue angiofibroma – clinicopathologic, immunohistochemical and molecular analysis of 14 cases
In conclusion, the AHRR‐NCOA2 fusion is a frequent finding in soft tissue angiofibroma, while GTF2I‐NCOA2 seems to be a rare genetic event. For the first time, we report a GAB1‐ABL1 fusion in a soft tissue angiofibroma of a child. Nuclear expression of NCOA2 is not discriminating when compared with other spindle cell neoplasms.

Mutational Profiles of Brenner Tumors show Distinctive Features Uncoupling Urothelial Carcinomas and Ovarian Carcinoma with Transitional Cell Histology
In conclusion, our study highlights distinct genetic features of BTs, and detection of the triplet phenotype MDM2 amplification/TP53 wt/TERT wt may aid diagnosis of malignant BT in difficult cases. Moreover, selected genetic lesions may be clinically exploitable in a metastatic setting. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer)

Impact of MLH1 expression on tumor evolution after curative surgical tumor resection in a murine orthotopic xenograft model for human MSI colon cancer
Abstract Colorectal cancers (CRCs) displaying microsatellite instability (MSI) most often result from MLH1 deficiency. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of MLH1 expression per se on tumor evolution after curative surgical resection using a xenograft tumor model. Transplantable tumors established with the human MLH1‐deficient HCT116 cell line and its MLH1‐complemented isogenic clone, mlh1‐3, were implanted onto the caecum of NOD/SCID mice. Curative surgical resection was performed at day 10 in half of the animals. The HCT116‐derived tumors were more voluminous compared to the mlh1‐3 ones (P = .001). L...

Genomic and metabolic characterization of a chromophobe renal cell carcinoma cell line model (UOK276)
This study characterizes a novel ChRCC‐derived cell line model, UOK276. A large ChRCC tumor with regions of sarcomatoid differentiation was used to establish a spontaneously immortal cell line, UOK276. UOK276 was evaluated for chromosomal, mutational and metabolic aberrations. The UOK276 cell line is hyper‐diploid with a modal number of 49 chromosomes per cell, and evidence of copy‐neutral loss of heterozygosity, as opposed to the classic pattern of ChRCC chromosomal losses. UOK276 demonstrated a TP53 missense mutation, expressed mutant TP53 protein, and responded to treatment with a small molecule therapeutic agent,...

Highly recurrent H3F3A mutations with additional epigenetic regulator alterations in giant cell tumor of bone
In conclusion, we confirmed that H3F3A is the most frequently mutated GCTB driver gene, and that H3F3A mutations are not present in atypical GCTBs. Sanger sequencing was much less sensitive than targeted NGS for detecting H3F3A mutations in FFPE samples. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
