Metastatic and recurrent adrenocortical cancer is not defined by its genomic landscape.

We conclude that the mutational and expression profiles of advanced and metastatic tumors are very similar to those from newly diagnosed patients-with very little in the way of genomic aberration to explain differences in biology. With relatively low mutation rates, few major oncogenic drivers, and loss of function mutations in several epigenetic regulators, an epigenetic basis for ACC may be postulated and serve as the basis for future studies.
