High frequency of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) in adult LMS. a Detection of C-circles in LMS tumors and control cell lines (U2OS, positive control; HeLa, negative control). Shown are test samples (top row) and control samples (bottom row). ALT-positive samples, as inferred from the enriched C-circle signal, are indicated in red. ALT-negative samples are indicated in blue. +pol, with polymerase; −pol, without polymerase. b Measurement of telomere content in LMS tumors. Telomere quantitative PCR was performed on tumor and matched control samples, and telomere repeat signals were normalized to a single-copy gene (36B4; T/S ratio). Shown are the telomere contents of tumor samples relative to those of control samples (left) and the absolute telomere contents of tumor samples (right). c Recurrent alterations in telomerase maintenance genes in LMS tumors. Rows represent individual genes, columns represent individual tumors. Genes are sorted according to frequency of SNVs, indels, and CNAs (left). Bars depict the number of alterations for individual tumors (top) and genes (right). Types of alterations and ALT status are annotated according to the color codes (bottom).
