Gene rearrangements in consecutive series of pediatric inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) are exceptionally rare neoplasms, which are often driven by rearranged tyrosine kinases. METHODS: This study considered 33 consecutive patients with IMT (median age, 6.6; age range, 0.6-15.8 years). RNA and cDNA were successfully obtained in 29 cases. The molecular analysis included sequential tests for 5'/3'-end unbalanced gene expression, variant-specific...
