Overview

NCI Definition: A germ cell tumor arising from the testis. Representative examples include teratoma, seminoma, embryonal carcinoma, and yolk sac tumor. [1]

Testicular germ cell tumors most frequently harbor alterations in KRAS, CDKN1B, CCND2, ETV6, and RAD52 [2].

Most Commonly Altered Genes in Testicular Germ Cell Tumor

CDKN1B Amplification, CCND2 Amplification, ETV6 Amplification, RAD52 Amplification, and KRAS Amplification are the most common alterations in testicular germ cell tumor [2].
