Published in 2025 at "Genes"

DOI: 10.1002/gcc.70071

Abstract: Mastermind‐like transcriptional coactivator (MAML) gene fusions have been documented in Thymic Epithelial Tumors (TETs). Specifically, lysine methyltransferase 2A (KMT2A)::MAML2 gene fusions are associated with type B2 and B3 thymomas. Here, we report for the first… read more here.
