NSD3::NUTM1 fusion evidenced on RNA sequencing in poorly differentiated thyroid cancer: a report of two cases.
Background: Nuclear protein in testis (NUT) carcinomas are aggressive, poorly or undifferentiated cancers, generally arising from midline structures. This subtype of squamous cell carcinoma is rare and has a poor prognosis. NUT cancers are defined by NUTM1 fusions. Rearrangements of the NUTM1 gene have rarely been described in primary thyroid cancer and are mainly reported in patients ≤45 years old. NSD3::NUTM1 translocation is the most common NUTM1 fusion transcript reported in thyroid cancer. As they are very infrequent, NUTM1 fusions are not routinely sought in poorly differentiated thyroid cancer (PDTC) or anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC).
Case presentation: We report two PDTC patients >65 years old with locally advanced disease and 18FDG-avid distant metastases. NSD3::NUTM1 translocation was evidenced in both patients by RNA sequencing using the next-generation sequencing panel of our institution.
Conclusion: We suggest including the search for NUTM1 fusions in the RNA sequencing panel for advanced and refractory thyroid cancers.
期刊介绍:
The ''European Thyroid Journal'' publishes papers reporting original research in basic, translational and clinical thyroidology. Original contributions cover all aspects of the field, from molecular and cellular biology to immunology and biochemistry, from physiology to pathology, and from pediatric to adult thyroid diseases with a special focus on thyroid cancer. Readers also benefit from reviews by noted experts, which highlight especially active areas of current research. The journal will further publish formal guidelines in the field, produced and endorsed by the European Thyroid Association.
