Small cell carcinoma of the ovary, hypercalcemic type (SCCOHT) is a rare, highly aggressive form of ovarian cancer primarily diagnosed in young women. We identified inactivating biallelic SMARCA4 mutations in 100% of the 12 SCCOHT tumors examined. Protein studies confirmed loss of SMARCA4 expression, suggesting a key role for the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex in SCCOHT.
卵巢小细胞癌,钙调蛋白类型(SCCOHT)是一种罕见的、高度侵袭性的卵巢癌形式,主要在年轻女性中诊断。我们在 12 个 SCCOHT 肿瘤中发现了 100%的 SMARCA4 双等位基因突变失活。蛋白研究证实了 SMARCA4 表达的缺失,表明 SWI/SNF 染色质重塑复合物在 SCCOHT 中起着关键作用。
