Whole‐exome sequencing and RNA sequencing analyses of acinic cell carcinomas of the breast

Acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) of the breast is a rare histological form of triple‐negative breast cancer (TNBC). Despite its unique histology, targeted sequencing analysis has failed to identify recurrent genetic alterations other than those found in common forms of TNBC. Here we subjected three breast ACCs to whole‐exome and RNA sequencing to determine whether they would harbour a pathognomonic genetic alteration.
