Genomic profiling of BCOR-rearranged uterine sarcomas reveals novel gene fusion partners, frequent CDK4 amplification and CDKN2A loss

Objective. Genomic alterations of BCOR via ZC3H7B-BCOR fusion or BCOR internal tandem duplication (ITD) define a subset of endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS). The goals of this study were to: 1) determine the molecular landscape of BCOR-rearranged ESS, 2) to identify novel BCOR fusion gene partners in ESS and their associated clinicopathological characteristics, and 3) to potentially unravel targetable genomic alterations in BCOR-mutated ESS.
Methods. A retrospective database search of a CLIA-certified molecular laboratory was performed for uterine sarcomas that contained BCOR rearrangements or BCOR ITD. The cases were previously assayed by comprehensive genomic profiling via both DNA- and RNA-based targeted next generation sequencing during the course of clinical care. Clinicopathological and genomic data was centrally re-reviewed.
