Whole exome sequencing demonstrates recurrent somatic copy number alterations and sporadic mutations in specialized stromal tumors the prostate

In a previous array comparative genomic hybridization study, we detected common deletions of chromosomes 13 and 14 in prostatic stromal sarcoma and stromal tumor of uncertain malignant potential (STUMP). In this study, we performed whole exome sequencing (WES) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) to explore somatic mutations in 1 low-grade stromal sarcoma, 1 high-grade stromal sarcoma, and 12 STUMPs including 5 cases of degenerative atypia type, 1 myxoid type, 1 phyllodes type, and 5 cases of recently described round cell type.
