Molecular Alteration | Thymoma Histologic Subtypes |
---|---|
Loss of heterozygosity across chromosome 6 (FOXC1 6q25.2-p25.3) | Common in thymoma type A, type AB, type B2, and type B3 |
Missense mutations in in GTF2I p.L424H | Mainly in thymomas type A and type AB (38% of cases) |
HRAS gene mutation | Restricted to type A and AB thymomas |
NRAS and TP53 gene mutations | Common in type B2 and B3 thymomas and thymic carcinomas |
GTF2I and BCOR mutations | Mutually exclusive in thymomas from individuals with Myasthenia Gravis |
