The research aims to explore the genomic characteristics of myoepithelial carcinoma (MECA) and investigate potential therapeutic targets like IGF1R.
Analysis of genomic data from 27 patients with myoepithelial carcinoma
Next generation DNA exome sequencing
Next generation RNA sequencing
Data available via the EGA Repository
Myoepithelial carcinoma tumors share a chromosomal partner with sarcomas (EWSR1 gene)
MECA shows a closer relation to other salivary carcinomas than previously thought
Potential therapeutic target IGF1R identified for further exploration

Resumen

Despite sharing a chromosomal translocation partner (the EWSR1 gene) with sarcomas, MECA are most related to other salivary carcinomas. Further exploration of IGF1R as a therapeutic target in MECA is warranted. We also make available the 27 patients' next generation DNA exome and RNA sequencing through the EGA Repository.
