Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A primary or metastatic malignant neoplasm involving the vagina. Representative examples include carcinomas and sarcomas. [1]

Malignant vaginal neoplasms most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, KRAS, RASA1, KMT2D, and JAK2 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Malignant Vaginal Neoplasm

TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, TP53 Mutation, TP53 Missense, KRAS Mutation, and KRAS Exon 2 Mutation are the most common alterations in malignant vaginal neoplasm [2].
