Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: A usually aggressive malignant neoplasm of the soft tissue or bone. It arises from muscle, fat, fibrous tissue, bone, cartilage, and blood vessels. Sarcomas occur in both children and adults. The prognosis depends largely on the degree of differentiation (grade) of the neoplasm. Representative subtypes are liposarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma, and chondrosarcoma. [1]

Sarcomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, KIT, CDKN2A, RB1, and CDKN2B [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Sarcoma

TP53 Mutation, KIT Mutation, TP53 Missense, TP53 c.217-c.1178 Missense, and KIT Exon 11 Mutation are the most common alterations in sarcoma [2].
