Clinically suspicious for DICER1 syndrome.
DICER1 syndrome was not clinically suspected at time of sarcoma diagnosis, but later development of DICER1-associated lesion with or without germline mutation identification led to identification of the syndrome in these patients.
Mutation identified in a metastasis from a primary cervical RMS.
cERMS from this patient not included in the table as no somatic testing was performed.
The site of the ERMS was not reported in the publication; personal communication with the authors revealed the site to be in the lower genital tract.
Not definitive.
Mutation found in tumour, but not confirmed to be somatic.
Mutation identified within a rhabdomyosarcomatous component of a uterine carcinosarcoma.
—No data.
The asterisks shown at the end of certain mutations is HGVS nomenclature indicating a termination codon.
