Abstract (original English)
Background/aim Recently, we reported a myoid hamartoma carrying a t(5;12)(p13;q14) karyotypic aberration leading to fusion of the high-mobility group AT-hook 2 (HMGA2) gene with a sequence from chromosome sub-band 5p13.2. We describe here another benign myoid tumor of the breast with identical genetic aberrations. Materials and methods A mammary leiomyomatous tumor found in a 45-year-old woman was studied using cytogenetics, fluorescence in situ hybridization, RNA sequencing, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Sanger sequencing. Results The karyotype of the tumor cells was 46,XX,t(5;12) (p13;q14)[14]. Fluorescence in situ hybridization showed rearrangement of HMGA2, RNA sequencing detected fusion of HMGA2 with a sequence from 5p13.2, whereupon reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction together with Sanger sequencing verified the HMGA2-fusion transcript. The results were identical to those obtained by us previously in a myoid hamartoma of the breast. Conclusion The translocation t(5;12)(p13;q14) and fusion of HMGA2 with sequences from sub-band 5p13.2 appear to be recurrent events in benign mammary myoid neoplasms.
What this study does not prove
- • This study does not prove SVF is an approved treatment or a replacement for standard care.
- • Without an adequate control group, treatment effects cannot be separated from other factors.
Evidence level
