Polymorphous Adenocarcinoma, Cribriform Subtype: Novel Fusions and Fusion Partners ModPath Chat

- Medicine
Polymorphous adenocarcinoma (PAC) is a common, usually low-grade salivary gland carcinoma. While conventional PACs are most associated with PRKD1 p.E710D hotspot mutations, the cribriform subtype is often associated with gene fusions in PRKD1, PRKD2, or PRKD3. The guest, Dr. Justin Bishop from UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, discusses his team’s recent study characterizing the fusions associated with PAC with NGS. A diverse group of fusion partners, including 13 novel partners, were identified. The most common partners for the PRKD genes were ARID1A and ARID1B.
