The specificity of the FOXL2 c.402C>G somatic mutation: a survey of solid tumors.

The specificity of the FOXL2 c.402C>G somatic mutation: a survey of solid tumors.

A somatic mutation in the FOXL2 gene is reported to be present in almost all (97%; 86/89) morphologically defined, adult-type, granulosa-cell tumors (A-GCTs). This FOXL2 c.402C>G mutation changes a highly conserved cysteine residue to a tryptophan (p.C134W). It was also found in a minority of oth...
