To determine whether the LRP1-SNRNP25 and KCNMB4-CCND3 fusions were specific to osteosarcomas, we repeated our RT-PCR analysis on 240 fresh tissues from 8 other sarcoma subtypes, including 56 malignant fibrous histiocytoma/undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (MFH/UPS), 50 liposarcomas, 24 soft tissue leiomyosarcomas, 4 rhabdomyosarcomas, 21 synovial sarcomas, 13 chondrosarcoma, 8 EWS/PNETs, and 64 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (MPNSTs) (Additional file 1: Table S4). This evidence concerns the gene SNRNP25 and osteosarcoma.
