While no novel NUTM1 fusion partners were identified within our cohort, 12 of 13 cases had discoverable NUTM1 fusions; YAP1-NUTM1 fusion was detected in 11 cases (92%) and WWTR1-NUTM1 in 1 case (8%). These data corroborate findings from other recent investigations and further substantiate the utility of NUT IHC in diagnosing a subset of poroid neoplasms. In addition, two of our cases harbored fusions of YAP1 exon 6 to NUTM1 exon 3 and YAP1 exon 8 to NUTM1 exon 2, which have not been reported before in poroid neoplasms and indicate novel break points of YAP1.
