Associated Genetic Biomarkers

Overview

NCI Definition: An adenocarcinoma arising from the vagina. Morphologic variants include the clear cell, endometrioid, mesonephric, and mucinous adenocarcinoma. [1]

Vaginal adenocarcinomas most frequently harbor alterations in TP53, LZTR1, FANCA, and ATM [2].
