Abstract

Acinic cell carcinoma (AciCC) is a rare salivary gland carcinoma that is poorly understood. Here the authors perform genomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic profiling of AciCC and find highly recurrent and specific rearrangements [t(4;9)(q13;q31)], which lead to enhancer hijacking that activates oncogenic transcription factor NR4A3.
