Abstract excerpt
We aimed to analyze MED12 mutation in fibroadenomas (FAs) and phyllodes tumors (PTs) of the breast, which are closely related and consist of epithelial and stromal components. Targeted deep-sequencing using next-generation sequencing was performed in FAs (n = 58) and PTs (n = 27). The frequency of MED12 mutant tumors was significantly higher (P = 0.016) in PTs (74.1 %) than in FAs. (46.6 %). As for FAs, this...
