Deletions or mutations | Tumor Supressor Gene | Common[15][7] | P[16][15] | No | Single base pair substitution have been identified in exon 5 or exon 6 of TP53. [8] Mutations of TP53 have been associated with malignant and dedifferentiated SFTs.[17][18][19] |
| ARAF1 | Other | Common | P[7] | 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. | |

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
- Fusion testing
- Next generation sequencing (NGS) using mRNA to detect the NAB2::STAT6 fusion
- Breakpoint fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) probe for STAT6
- Dual color dual fusion probe targeting both genes[20]
- a direct confirmation for NAB2::STAT6 fusion
- Immunohistochemistry testing, STAT6 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 6) immunostain
- nuclear staining
- high sensitivity and specificity
