GOLGA4 intron 16-RAF1 intron 7

Biallelic deletion of CDKN2B, AXIN and SMAD4. Numerous genome-wide copy changes including gain of Chr 1q and loss of Chr 1p, Chr 6, Chr 16 and Chr 18.

GOLGA4 exon 17-RAF1 exon 8

Strong at periphery, granular cytoplasmic

Strong at periphery, nuclear and cytoplasmic

12a

GATM intron 2-RAF1 intron 9 (no SV in BRAF)

Biallelic CDKN2A-CDKN2B deletion. Splicing variant of BAP1 predicted to cause nonsense-mediated RNA decay. Numerous genome-wide copy gains including Chr 1q.

GATM exon 2-RAF1 exon 10

Strong at periphery, granular cytoplasmic

Moderate, nuclear and cytoplasmic

17

PDZRN3 intron 5-RAF1 intron 7

Numerous genome-wide copy changes including gain of Chr 1q and loss of Chr 1p, Chr 6, Chr 16p and Chr 18.

PDZRN3 exon 5-RAF1 exon 8

Wild type pattern

Strong at periphery, nuclear and cytoplasmic

29

HERPUD1 3’ UTR-RAF1 intron 7

Biallelic CDKN2A deletion. MEK1/MAP2K1 E203K activating missense mutation. Numerous genome-wide copy changes including gain of Chr 1q and loss of Chr 1p. Low tumor mutation burden (<4/Mb).

Rare in-frame HERPUD1 exons 1-7-RAF1 exons 8-17 transcripts (i.e., skipping of HERPUD1 exon 8 with stop codon).

Wild type pattern

Strong diffuse, nuclear and cytoplasmic

30

TRIM33 intron 11-RAF1 intron 7

SMAD4 truncating mutation. Numerous genome-wide copy losses including Chr 1p, Chr16 and Chr18.

TRIM33 exon 11-RAF1 exon 8

Moderate at periphery, granular cytoplasmic

Negative
