GT, glomus tumor;
index cases studied by RNA-seq;
confirmed by RNA-seq and RT-PCR, but by FISH rearranged in <10% cells by FISH; ST, soft tissue;
NOTCH2 break-apart signal in the benign component, while the malignant area showed low level of amplification of centromeric part with loss of the telomeric region;
NF1-developed GT, metachronous neurofibroma and MPNST negative for NOTCH2 rearrangements.
