Title:

The landscape of MET mutations in Chinese biliary tract cancers.

Excerpt:
MET mutations were detected in 4.1% of patients with BTCs, including 5.3% in ICC, 3.4% in hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA), 3.0% in ECC, and 2.6% in gallbladder cancer (GBCA). Gene amplification was the most common type of MET mutation in BTC (2.6%) compared with gene rearrangements/fusions (1.1%) and SNV (0.9%). Novel MET fusion partners, including TNS3 and TRIM4, and MET exon 14 skipping mutation, were also detected. There was no difference in tumor mutational burden (TMB) between patients with and without MET mutation (average TMB: 6.5 vs. 5.6 muts/Mb, P= 0.213)....MET mutations were detected in 4.5% BTCs, and MET inhibitors may be potential treatment options for BTC patients.
