A Novel Chromosomal Translocation Associated WithCOL1A2-PDGFBGene Fusion in Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans
2 Sept 2015
Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare skin cancer that develops in the deep dermis to subcutaneous adipose tissues. A COL1A1-PDGFB gene fusion, leading to the constitutive expression of PDGFB, is the tumorigenic mechanism in most DFSP cases. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the specificity of PDGFB expression as a diagnostic marker of DFSP and to determine whether other pathomechanisms (ie, gene...
