Translocations and Gene Fusions in Sinonasal Malignancies.

Several new, clinically relevant, chromosomal aberrations have been discovered and evaluated to varying degrees in sinonasal tumors including DEK::AFF2, BRD4::NUT, ADCK4::NUMBL, and ETV6::NTRK3. Sinonasal malignancies demonstrate a diverse genetic landscape and varying clinical courses. Recent studies illustrate that gene fusions and translocations may play a role in carcinogenesis in certain sinonasal tumor subtypes and may be used to develop new biomarker-driven and patient-centered treatments.
