Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to elucidate the genetic landscape of biliary papillary neoplasms. Of 28 cases examined, 7 underwent whole exome sequencing, while the remaining 21 were used for validation studies with targeted sequencing. In the whole exome sequencing study, 4/7 cases had mutations in either APC or CTNNB1, both of which belong to the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Somatic mutations were also identified in genes...
