Next-generation sequencing revealed recurrent ZFPM1 mutations in encapsulated papillary carcinoma of the breast

Abstract Encapsulated papillary carcinoma (EPC) of the breast is a rare subtype of tumor. To date, the genetic abnormalities underlying EPC remain elusive. The purpose of this study was to gain further insight into EPC mutation profile. Forty-one EPCs diagnosed from 2015 to 2018 were included. Twent...

Forty-one EPCs diagnosed from 2015 to 2018 were included.

Moreover, a significant concurrence of ZFPM1 and PI3K-AKT-mTOR mutations were revealed in the EPCs. Of note, no TP53 mutations were detected in our EPCs, whereas it was detected in a considerable proportion of the luminal A invasive ductal carcinomas of no special type (IDC-NSTs) from TCGA.
