Mutation profile by high-depth targeted MPS in FFPE biopsy of 10 patients: Comprehensive Cancer Panel™ identified somatic genetic alterations in three different genes TP53, PIK3CA, and GATA3 in six patients. According to the stringent selection criteria we established for personalized mutational marker selection, no somatic alterations were found in four patients.
