Pan-sarcoma genomic analysis of KMT2A rearrangements reveals distinct subtypes defined by YAP1–KMT2A–YAP1 and VIM–KMT2A fusions

Abstract excerpt

Sarcomas are driven by diverse pathogenic mechanisms, including gene rearrangements in a subset of cases. Rare soft tissue sarcomas containing KMT2A fusions have recently been reported, characterized by a predilection for young adults, sclerosing epithelioid fibrosarcoma-like morphology, and an often aggressive course. Nonetheless, clinicopathologic and molecular descriptions of KMT2A-rearranged sarcomas remain...
