Sarcoma susceptibility v1.79 TERT Arina Puzriakova Publications for gene: TERT were set to PMID: 31529158
Sarcoma susceptibility v1.78 TERT Arina Puzriakova Classified gene: TERT as Red List (low evidence)
Sarcoma susceptibility v1.78 TERT Arina Puzriakova Added comment: Comment on list classification: Although there is evidence to support that TERT promoter variants affect prognosis, they are not the driving alteration in SFT. Furthermore, this cancer panel is intended for germline susceptibility findings rather than somatic variants as described in the case of TERT.

Therefore, assigning a Red rating to the TERT gene on this panel.
Sarcoma susceptibility v1.78 TERT Arina Puzriakova Gene: tert has been classified as Red List (Low Evidence).
Sarcoma susceptibility v1.77 TERT Arina Puzriakova Tag promoter tag was added to gene: TERT.
Tag somatic tag was added to gene: TERT.

Review for gene: TERT was set to GREEN
Added comment: Solitary fibrous tumour (SFT) is a rare mesenchymal tumour with a wide anatomical distribution, including superficial and deep soft tissue, visceral organs and bone and is most common in adults. The tumours classified in the intermediate risk group by WHO grading system are difficult to prognosticate. Recent studies show that C228T TERT promoter (pTERT) mutation is associated with reduced survival in SFT. pTERT mutation is more common in intermediate and high-risk groups, and is associated with poorer outcome. Detection of the pTERT mutation has the potential to improve current prognostication and guide management of patients with intermediate-risk solitary fibrous tumours.
These findings were validated by a study presented at the 2023 joint winter meeting of Pathological Society with the RSM, abstract OF6:
