Comprehensive analysis of oncogenic fusions in mismatch repair deficient colorectal carcinomas by sequential DNA and RNA next generation sequencing

Abstract Background Colorectal carcinoma (CRC) harboring oncogenic fusions has been reported to be highly enriched in mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) tumors with MLH1 hypermethylation (MLH1 me+) and wild-type BRAF and RAS. In this study, dMMR CRCs were screened for oncogene fusions using sequential...
