Abstract excerpt
Mass spectrometry-based methods have been widely applied - often as the sole method - to detect mutations in human cancer specimens. We applied this approach to 52 childhood soft tissue sarcoma specimens in an attempt to identify potentially actionable mutations. This analysis revealed that 25% of the specimens harbored high-confidence calls for mutated alleles, including a mutation encoding FLT3(I836M) that was...
