NAB2 STAT6 This fusion is caused by a paracentric inversion on chromosome 12q and encodes a chimeric protein that combines the EGR-binding domain of NAB2 with the transactivation domain of STAT6, thereby results in a feedforward loop of constitutive EGR1-mediated transactivation of proliferation and survival-associated growth factors.[1][2][3][4][5][6] inv(12)(q13q13) Common D Yes (WHO) NAB2::STAT6 gene fusions are pathognomonic for SFT. Many different breakpoints in the exons and introns are associated with this fusion. The most common fusion variants: NAB2ex4::STAT6ex2; NAB2ex6::STAT6ex16/17. [2][3] Antiangiogenic therapy showed activity in advanced and progressive SFT[7]

Gene Mutations (SNV/INDEL)

There are multiple genes with single nucleotide variations that have been reported only in metastatic solitary fibrous tumor tissues including TP53 and APAF1.[8]

Common >20%, Recurrent 5-20% or Rare <5% (Disease)

Diagnostic, Prognostic, and Therapeutic Significance - D, P, T   Established Clinical Significance Per Guidelines - Yes or No (Source) Clinical Relevance Details/Other Notes
TERT Promoter mutations Oncogene Common P No TERT promoter mutations were more frequent in tumors with higher risk of metastasis, have a significant association with malignant SFTs, and may identify intermediate-risk tumors with poorer prognosis.[6][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
TP53


Missense or frameshift mutation[9] Tumor Supressor Gene Common P No Mutations of TP53 have been associated with malignant and dedifferentiated SFTs.[6][13][15][16][17]
APAF1 LOF mutation[8] Other Common P No Alteration of APAF1 results in gain of a stop codon. The gene is inactivated by DNA methylation of the promoter region. Decreased APAF1 is considered to lead to inhibition of apoptosis. This alteration and decreased APAF1 mRNA expression was observed in metastatic SFT.[8]

Note: A more extensive list of mutations can be found in cBioportal, COSMIC, and/or other databases. When applicable, gene-specific pages within the CCGA site directly link to pertinent external content.

Epigenomic Alterations

None

Genes and Main Pathways Involved

Gene; Genetic Alteration Pathway Pathophysiologic Outcome
NAB2::STAT6; Activating mutation EGR Pathway Increased activation of EGR1

Genetic Diagnostic Testing Methods

  1. Fusion testing
    • Next generation sequencing (NGS) using mRNA targeting the fusion
    • Dual color dual fusion fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe targeting both genes[18]
      • a direct confirmation for NAB2::STAT6 fusion
  2. Breakpoint detection
    • Breakpoint fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe for STAT6

Familial Forms

Not Applicable

Additional Information

Immunohistochemistry testing

  • STAT6 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 6) immunostain
    • nuclear staining
    • high sensitivity and specificity[19]

Links

None
