Genes Chromosomes Cancer

February 2024

Department of Cancer Biology, Lerner Research Institute, Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers found a new type of genetic fusion (WWTR1::TFE3) in a patient with EHE that has both features of two main subtypes.
  • * They also discovered other mutations in the tumor and studied how the new fusion protein affects cell growth in experiments.

Department of Pathology, Robert J. Tomsich Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Institute, Cleveland Clinic, 2119 E 93rd Street, L15, Cleveland, OH, 44195, USA.

Microcystic/reticular schwannoma (MRS) is a benign variant of schwannoma with a predilection for the gastrointestinal tract and skin. To date, genetic characterization of this tumor is limited. Prompted by the identification of TFE3::NONO fusion and ALK overexpression in an index case of MRS, a cohort of tumors was collected from institutional and consultation archives of two institutions.

Article Synopsis
  • Clear cell (hemangioblastoma-like) stromal tumor of the lung (CCSTL) is a rare type of lung tumor, and recent findings link it to the YAP1-TFE3 gene fusion.
  • A case study featured a 57-year-old male with a 45 mm lung nodule, showing specific microscopic and immunohistochemical characteristics.
  • The study's results reinforce the idea that the YAP1-TFE3 fusion is a typical feature of CCSTL, potentially helping in its classification and understanding.

Translocation renal cell carcinoma (tRCC) with TFE3 gene rearrangements has been born as a distinct entity 20 years ago. These relatively rare tumors were notable among other RCC subtypes because of their disproportionally high incidence among children and young adults. Initial reports were focused on describing unifying morphologic criteria and typical clinical presentation.

Background: Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) associated with Xp11.2 translocation/ gene fusion is a rare and new subtype of RCC and was classified by the WHO in 2004. Since then, multiple 5' fusion partners for have been reported; however, the impact of individual fusion variant on specific clinicopathologic features of Xp11.
