Abstract
A range of genomic drivers have been identified in schwannomas, including a number of translocations, most commonly SH3PXD2A::HTRA1. To date, despite the analysis of large numbers of cases, no examples of variant HTRA1 partners have been described. We describe a schwannoma arising in the periportal region in which a novel TANC1::HTRA1 fusion was identified. The identification of this variant expands the range of fusion drivers in schwannoma and offers insight into the pathogenic mechanism of HTRA1 fusions and their utility in molecular diagnosis.
期刊介绍:
Genes, Chromosomes & Cancer will offer rapid publication of original full-length research articles, perspectives, reviews and letters to the editors on genetic analysis as related to the study of neoplasia. The main scope of the journal is to communicate new insights into the etiology and/or pathogenesis of neoplasia, as well as molecular and cellular findings of relevance for the management of cancer patients. While preference will be given to research utilizing analytical and functional approaches, descriptive studies and case reports will also be welcomed when they offer insights regarding basic biological mechanisms or the clinical management of neoplastic disorders.
