Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is an infrequently metastasising mesenchymal tumour defined by the NAB2-STAT6 fusion gene. Activating mutations in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene promoter has been reported to associate with adverse patient outcome in SFTs. METHODS: We analysed the hTERT gene for promoter mutations and copy number alterations in 43 primary extrameningeal SFTs (9 malignant and...
