Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Fibroadenomas (FAs) and phyllodes tumours (PTs) are fibroepithelial tumours. Mutations in MED12 exon 2 have been reported in FAs. This study investigated the MED12 mutations in a spectrum of fibroepithelial tumours. METHODS AND RESULTS: Using direct sequencing, we analysed MED12 exon 2 mutations on 121 samples, including PTs and FAs and variants. We found MED12 mutations in 71.4% of PTs. No significant...
