Associated Genetic Biomarkers
Overview
NCI Definition: A malignant fibroblastic neoplasm arising from the soft tissue. It is characterized by the presence of spindle-shaped cells, cellular pleomorphism, thin-walled blood vessels, fibrous septa, and myxoid stroma. [1]
Myxofibrosarcomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, CDKN2A, CDKN2B, ATRX, and RB1 [2].
CDKN2A Loss, CDKN2B Loss, TP53 Mutation, TP53 Loss, and TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense are the most common alterations in myxofibrosarcoma [2].
