Identification of genetic alterations in extramammary Paget disease using whole exome analysis

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Extramammary Paget disease (EMPD) is a rare cutaneous malignant neoplasm, and the genomic alterations underlying its pathogenesis are unknown. OBJECTIVE: To identify tumor-specific genomic alterations in EMPD. METHODS: Exome analysis was performed in specimens from three EMPD patients, and target amplicon sequencing was done for genes frequently mutated in other adenocarcinomas. RESULTS: Exome...
