Table 2. Histone 3.3 mutations in bone and cartilage tumours.

Prevalence of histone 3.3 mutations identified in eight different tumour types are shown. K36M and G34W mutations are mutually exclusive in chondroblastoma and giant cell tumour of bone (p<1×10−15). Amino acid changes are specified above the bars.
