Expanding the molecular signature of ossifying fibromyxoid tumors with two novel gene fusions: CREBBP ‐BCORL1 and KDM2A‐WWTR1
Ossifying fibromyxoid tumor (OFMT) is an uncommon mesenchymal neoplasm of uncertain differentiation and intermediate malignant potential. Recurrent gene fusions involving either PHF1 or BCOR have been found in 85% of OFMT, including typical and malignant examples. As a subset of OFMT still lack known genetic abnormalities, we identified two OFMTs negative for PHF1 and BCOR rearrangements, which were subjected to transcriptome analysis for fusion discovery. The RNA sequencing found a novel CREBBP‐BCORL1 fusion candidate in an axillary mass of a 51 year‐old male and a KDM2A‐WWTR1 in a thigh mass of a 36 year‐old male...

Heterogeneity of MYCN amplification in neuroblastoma at diagnosis, treatment, relapse, and metastasis
Amplification of the MYCN gene in neuroblastoma is associated with a poor prognosis and is considered to remain unchanged in post‐treatment specimens and metastases. While heterogeneity of MYCN copy number in tumor cells has been reported, serial samples have only been studied in a limited way, and the biologic relevance of this finding is not well understood. We used in situ hybridization on paraffin sections of 102 specimens from 30 patients with MYCN‐amplified neuroblastoma to determine MYCN copy number in the primary tumor, pre‐ and post‐treatment, and in metastatic samples. Nineteen cases (63%) showed diffuse ...

FGFR3 preferentially colocalizes with IGH in the interphase nucleus of multiple myeloma patient B ‐cells when FGFR3 is located outside of CT4
Many B‐cell malignancies are characterized by chromosomal translocations involving IGH and a proto‐oncogene. For translocations to occur, spatial proximity of translocation‐prone genes is necessary. Currently, it is not known how such genes are brought into proximity with one another. Although decondensed chromosomes occupy definitive, non‐random spaces in the interphase nucleus known as chromosome territories (CTs), chromatin at the edges of CTs can intermingle, and specific genomic regions from some chromosomes have been shown to “loop out” of their respective CTs. This extra‐territorial positioning of spec...

Characterizing Genetic Transitions of Copy Number Alterations and Allelic Imbalances in Oral Tongue Carcinoma Metastasis
This study indicates that additional genetic changes, such as 20q11.2 gain, which encodes the E2F1 gene, can be acquired through clonal evolution, and may be required for the metastatic process. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Genes, Chromosomes and Cancer)
