Resumo
Background: The molecular pathogenesis of odontogenic myxoma has not been established yet. Considering that odontogenic myxoma may show myofibroblastic differentiation and myxoid areas can be observed in intra-osseous myofibromas, we tested the hypothesis whether both tumors share a common molecular profile. As recent studies have reported PDGFRB recurrent driver mutations in myofibroma, we evaluated PDGFRB mutations in odontogenic myxomas.
Methods: A convenience sample of 15 odontogenic myxomas cases was selected. We direct sequenced PDGFRB exons 12 and 14, where p.R561C (c.1681C>T) and p.N666K (c.1998C>G) hotspot mutations have been reported among others in single and/or multiple myofibromas.
Results: All 15 odontogenic myxoma samples were successfully sequenced, and all 15 had wild-type sequences for the PDGFRB mutations investigated.
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that PDGFRB mutations do not play a role in odontogenic myxoma pathogenesis, which might be helpful in the differential diagnosis of challenging cases.
